_Alleluia._ Blessed is he whom thou hast chosen and received, O Lord.
_The gospel from John, section xxi._
The Lord spake unto the Jews that came unto him, I am the bread....
_ending_, at the last day.[41]
_Then the deacon._ Let us pray to the Lord.
_And the priest this prayer._
O Lord of hosts, who art the joy of the afflicted, the consolation of
mourners, and the aid of all them that are faint-hearted; do thou in
thy tenderness console them that are constrained with grief for him that
hath fallen asleep, and heal every distress that lieth in their hearts,
and rest thy servant, _name_, who hath fallen asleep in hope of the
resurrection of eternal life, in the bosom of Abraham.
For thou art the resurrection, the life, and the repose of thy servant,
_name_, O Christ our God, and to thee we ascribe glory, with thine
unbeginning Father, and with thy most holy, and good, and life-creating
Spirit, now and ever, and to ages of ages. Amen.
_Antiphon iii._
They that trust in the Lord are terrible to enemies, and wonderful to
all; for they look on high.
Let not the inheritance of the righteous, having thee, O Saviour, as a
helper, stretch forth their hands unto transgression.
_Glory._
Of the Holy Ghost is the might in all things: him the hosts above
worship, and everything that hath breath below.
_Both now, the same._
