"Most glorious and merciful Lord God! Our Heavenly Father! Author of all good and giver of all mercy! Pour down thy blessings upon us, and strengthen our solemn engagements with the ties of sincere affection! May the present instance of mortality remind us of our approaching fate, and draw our attention toward Thee, the only refuge in time of need: that, when the awful moment shall arrive that we are about to quit this transitory scene, the enlivening prospect of Thy mercy may dispel the gloom of death; that after our departure hence in peace, we may be received into Thine everlasting kingdom, and there enjoy, in union with our departed friends, the just reward of a pious and virtuous life. Amen."
