Of Christ, and of the Spirit of Wisdom
O Jesus! the Resurrection and the Life, on whom whosoever believeth, though he be dead, yet shall he live a^ain, mercifully hear our prayers for the faithful departed; re- member thy children that sleep, bring them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and let thine everlasting light shine upon them for evermore, for thou art merciful, O Lord Almighty !
O eternal God ! who in thy wonderful providence hast made thine angels minister- ing spirits, behold with pity the dangers of our condition, and give them charge over us to bear us in their hands, and to cover us under the shadow of their wings, that being guided through the desert of this life, we may enter into the land of promise, and rejoice in their blessed society, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
