when I shall have to appear
before Thy Judgement seat,
My Jesus Mercy!
Prayer
Eternal rest grant unto them,
O Lord, and let perpetual light
shine upon them:
For evermore with Thy Saints,
because Thou art gracious.
May the prayer of
Thy suppliant people,
we beseech Thee, O Lord,
benefit the souls of
Thy departed servants and handmaids:
that Thou mayest both deliver them
from all their sins,
and make them to be
partakers of Thy redemption.
Amen
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.
And let perpetual light shine on them.
Amen
May their souls and the souls
of all the faithful departed through the mercy of God,
rest in peace.
Amen.
