O spare me a little, that I may recover my strength : before I go hence, and be no more seen.
Hear my prayer, O Lord, and with thine ears consider my calling : hold not thy peace at my tears.įor I am a stranger with thee : and a sojourner, as all my fathers were. When thou with rebukes dost chasten man for sin, thou makest his beauty to consume away, like as it were a moth fretting a garment : every man therefore is but vanity. Take thy plague away from me : I am even consumed by means of thy heavy hand. I became dumb, and opened not my mouth: for it was thy doing. Lord, let me know mine end, and the number of my days : that I may be certified how long I have to live.īehold, thou hast made my days as it were a span long : and mine age is even as nothing in respect of thee and verily every man living is altogether vanity.įor man walketh in a vain shadow, and disquieteth himself in vain : he heapeth up riches, and cannot tell who shall gather them.Īnd now, Lord, what is my hope : truly my hope is even in thee.ĭeliver me from all mine offences : and make me not a rebuke unto the foolish. My heart was hot within me, and while I was thus musing the fire kindled : and at the last I spake with my tongue I held my tongue, and spake nothing : I kept silence, yea, even from good words but it was pain and grief to me. I will keep my mouth as it were with a bridle : while the ungodly is in my sight. I said, I will take heed to my ways : that I offend not in my tongue. Timothy 6.7 Job 1.21Īfter they are come into the Church, shall be read one or both of these Psalms following. The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away blessed be the name of the Lord. We brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
#40 days prayer for the faithful departed pdf viewer skin#
And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another. I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth. I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. The Priest and Clerks meeting the corpse at the entrance of the Church-yard, and going before it, either into the Church, or towards the grave, shall say, or sing: Here is to be noted, that the Office ensuing is not to be used for any that die unbaptized, or excommunicate, or have laid violent hands upon themselves.
