Rh sake, to reward with eternal life all them that do us good. Amen.

Let us pray for the faithful departed.

Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon them.

Let them rest in peace. Amen.

For our absent brethren.

Save Thy servants, who hope in Thee, O my God.

Send them help, O Lord, from Thy holy place.

And defend them out of Sion.

O Lord, hear my prayer.

And let my cry come unto Thee.

O God, whose property is always to have mercy and to spare, receive our humble petition; that we, and all Thy servants who are bound by the chain of sins, may, by the compassion of Thy goodness, mercifully be absolved.

Graciously hear, we beseech Thee, O Lord, the prayers of Thy suppliants, and forgive the sins of them that confess to Thee: that in Thy bounty Thou mayest grant us both pardon and peace.
