 At the Burial of an Adult

O God, whose mercies cannot be numbered:  Accept our prayers on behalf of thy servant N., and grant him an  entrance into the land of light and joy, in the fellowship of  thy saints; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth  and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now  and for ever. Amen.

At the Burial of a Child

O God, whose beloved Son did take little children into his arms and bless them:  Give us grace, we beseech thee, to  entrust this child N. to thy never&#8209;failing care and love, and bring us all to thy heavenly kingdom; through the same thy  Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee  and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
