Alas what
! strife hath the soul in
parting from the body. Alas! what
tears, and there is none to pity her;
towards angels her helpless eyes are
turned in supplication, and towards
men her hands are extended, but
there is none to aid her. Wherefore,

shortness of our life, let us plead with
Christ for rest for him who is passed
away, and for our souls the great
mercy.
Tone 3

after death they are not; wealth re-
maineth not, glory goeth not with
us. Death cometh suddenly, and all
these things vanish utterly. There-

sleep in Jesus will God bring with
him. For this we say unto you by
the word of the Lord, that we which
are alive and remain unto the coming
of the Lord shall not prevent them
which are asleep.For the Lord him-

a shout, with the voice of the arch-
angel, and with the trump of God:
and the dead in Christ shall rise first.
