SALVATOR MUNDI

Ant. O Saviour of the world, who by thy Cross and precious Blood hast redeemed us;/ save us and help us we humbly beseech thee, O Lord.

Thou didst save thy disciples when ready to perish: / hear us and save us we humbly beseech thee.

Let the pitifulness of they great mercy / loose us from our sins we humbly beseech thee.

Draw near according to thy promise from the throne of thy glory: / look down and hear our crying we humbly beseech thee.

Come again and dwell with us, O Lord Christ Jesus: / abide with us for ever we humbly beseech thee.

And when thou shalt appear with power and great glory: / may we be made like unto thee, in thy glorious Kingdom.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son,/ and to the Holy Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, / world without end. Amen.

THE COLLECT

GRANT, O Lord, that as we are baptized into the death of thy blessed Son our Saviour Jesus Christ, so by continual mortifying our corrupt affections we may be buried with him; and that, through the grave, and gate of death, we may pass to our joyful resurrection; for his merits, who died, and was buried, and rose again for us, thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
