A Prayer after the Patient has Departed in the Lord

THANKS And praise be rendered now and forevermore to Christ Jesus, Lord of glory and Prince of life, for having so graciously delivered this sainted brother (sister), and received his (her) soul into His holy hands. We pray Him to reunite the soul with the body in heavenly brightness on the last day, and to grant unto us a godly walk and an equally happy departure at the time appointed of God. Restore, O Lord, all distressed hearts with sweet comfort and keep all of us perpetually in Thy grace for the sake of Thy eternal mercy and goodness. Amen, O Thou most holy and exalted Trinity. Amen! Amen!
