And the priest maketh this dismissal.
Thou that didst arise from the dead, and hast dominion over quick and dead, Christ our true God, through the prayers of thy most pure Mother, and of all thy Saints, place the soul of the babe, name, removed from us, in holy tabernacles, and number it with the just, as being good and the lover of mankind.
Choir. Amen.
And after the dismissal the priest saith,
Thy remembrance is everlasting, O thou deservedly blessed and ever remembered babe, name.
And the choir singeth thrice, Everlasting remembrance.
After this the priest saith this prayer,
the deacon having said, Let us pray to the Lord,
and the singers, Lord, have mercy.
O Lord, who guardest babes in the life that now is, and in the world to come preparest for them the amplitude of Abraham’s bosom, and, for their purity, bright angelic places where the souls of the righteous are established; do thou thyself, O Lord Christ, accept in peace the soul of thy servant, the babe, name. For thou hast said, Suffer the children to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven. For to thee is due all glory, honour, and worship, with the Father, and with the Holy Ghost, now and ever, and to ages of ages. Amen.
And, taking up the body, they go to the grave, preceded by the priests and deacons and all the clergy, singing, Holy God....
