O Lord Jesus Christ, who dost bring Thy faithful people to the green pastures & leadest them by the still waters, receive, we beseech Thee, the souls of Thy faithful servants departed into that pleasant land of rest, where with the Father and the Holy Ghost Thou livest & reignest ever one God, world without end. Amen.
