Like as a father pitieth his personal youngsters: even so is the Lord merciful unto them that concern him. For he knoweth whereof we’re made: he remembereth that we’re however mud. The times of man are however as grass: for he flourisheth as a flower of the sector. For as quickly because the wind goeth over it, it’s gone: and the place thereof shall realize it no extra. However the merciful goodness of the Lord endureth without end upon them that concern him: and his righteousness upon youngsters’s youngsters.

Go forth upon thy journey from this world, O Christian soul; Within the identify of God the Father Almighty who created thee; Within the identify of Jesus Christ who suffered for thee; Within the identify of the Holy Spirit who strengtheneth thee. In communion with the blessèd saints, and aided by Angels and Archangels, and all of the armies of the heavenly host, might thy portion at the present time be in peace, and thy dwelling within the heavenly Jerusalem. Amen.
