He came to bring the Mourners Joy

And said, My Lord, if now I have found Favour in Thy Sight, pass not away, I pray Thee, from Thy Servant:

Save us with Your Grace, Lord Jesus Christ! that the cunning Deceit of the Enemy cannot harm us.

Save us with Your Word, esteemed Redeemer! that Help and Salvation may be granted to us Here and in Heaven.

Let Your Splendor cover us, O shining Light! may Your Truth surround us on the narrow Path we must walk.

May Your Blessings remain with us, O bountiful Lord! may Your Goodness increase the Strength of our Faith.

May Your protection surround us, O mighty Prince! that the Enemy may not attack us, nor the wicked World overcome us.

May Your Faithfulness support us, my Lord and God! through all Adversity grant us constant Help and Mercy. Amen.
