Jesu, Mercy

Lastly, let us remember before the Lord that multitude of which no man can number,
who in the hope of the resurrection have passed through the valley of the shadow of death;
and let us pray that the Lord may grant unto them his eternal light.

V. Rest eternal grant unto them, O Lord,
R. And may light perpetual shine upon them.

Into thy hands, O Lord, we commend the souls of the all the faithful departed,
as into the hands of a faithful Creator and most loving Saviour,
beseeching thee to grant unto them forgiveness and peace; Jesu, mercy.

Grant that all stain of sin may be done away,
and that in thy light they may see light; Jesu, mercy.

Grant unto them the renewing and enriching of thy gifts to them,
that with all their powers they may serve thee and thy kingdom; Jesu, mercy.

Grant to us, Lord, in our pilgrimage the help of their prayers; Jesu, mercy.

Grant to thy Church, Lord, the assurance of the communion of saints
and the joy of their fellowship: that they and we may be for ever one in thee; Jesu, mercy.

Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. Our Father...

Now unto him that is able to keep us from falling and to present us faultless before
the presence of his glory with exceeding joy; to the only wise God our Saviour
be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
