prayers for holidays and feasts
Grant to life’s day a calm, unclouded ending, An eve, untouched by shadows of decay,The brightness of a holy death-bed blending With dawning glories of th’ eternal day.
Hear us, O Father, gracious and forgiving, And Thou, O Christ, the co-eternal Word,Who, with the Holy Ghost, by all things living Now and to endless ages art adored.
