THE COLLECT.

O merciful God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the
resurrection and the life; in whom whosoever believeth shall live,
though he die; and whosoever liveth, and believeth in him, shall
not die eternally; who also hath taught us (by his holy Apostle
Saint Paul) not to be sorry, as men without hope, for them that
sleep in him: We meekly beseech thee, O Father, to raise us from
the death of sin unto the life of righteousness; that, when we
shall depart this life, we may rest in him, as our hope is this
our _brother_ doth; and that, at the general resurrection in the
last day, we may be found acceptable in thy sight, and receive
that blessing, which thy well-beloved Son shall then pronounce to
all that love and fear thee, saying, Come, ye blessed children of
my Father, receive the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning
of the world: Grant this, we beseech thee, O merciful Father,
through Jesus Christ, our Mediator and Redeemer. _Amen_.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the
fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. _Amen_.
