THE QUIRE SERVICE FOR THE
BURIAL OF THE DEAD
To be said in the Church before the Burial or after.
<I The Service shall begin with the Antiphon and one of the
Psalms following. In this and the other Memorial Services
the Gloria is not said.
Antiphon. The hour cometh, and now is,
when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son
of God : and they that hear shall live.
<][ Domine, probasti. Psalm 139.
OLORD, thou hast searched me out, and
known me : thou knowest my down-
sitting, and mine up-rising ; thou understandest
my thoughts afar off.
Thou art about my path, and about my bed :
and spiest out all my ways.
For lo, there is not a word in my tongue :
but thou, O Lord, knowest it altogether.
Thou hast fashioned me behind and before :
and laid thine hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful and excellent
for me : I cannot attain unto it.
Whither shall I go then from thy Spirit : or
whither shall I go then from thy presence ?

2 Memorial Services
If I climb up into heaven, thou art there : if
I go down to hell, thou art there also.
Ifi take the wings of the morning : and remain
in the uttermost parts of the sea ;
Even there also shall thy hand lead me : and
thy right hand shall hold me.
If I say, Peradventure the darkness shall
cover me : then shall my night be turned to day.
Yea, the darkness is no darkness with thee,
but the night is as clear as the day : the darkness
and light to thee are both alike.
For my reins are thine : thou hast covered me
in my mother's womb.
I will give thanks unto thee, for I am fearfully
and wonderfully made : marvellous are thy works,
and that my soul knoweth right well.
My frame was not hid from thee : when I
was made secretly, and fashioned curiously in
the lowest parts of the earth.
Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being
imperfect : and in thy book were all my members
written ;
Which day by day were fashioned : when as
yet there was none of them.
How dear are thy counsels unto me, O God :
O how great is the sum of them !
If I tell them, they are more in number than the
sand : when I wake up I am present with thee.
Try me, O God, and seek the ground of
my heart : prove me, and examine my thoughts.
Look well if there be any way of wickedness
in me : and lead me in the way everlasting.

Memorial Services 3
<f Lauda, anima mea. Psalm 146.
PRAISE the Lord, O my soul ; while I live
will I praise the Lord : yea, as long as I
have any being, I will sing praises unto my God.
O put not your trust in princes, nor in any
child of man : for there is no help in them.
For when the breath of man goeth forth he
shall turn again to his earth : and then all his
thoughts perish.
Blessed is he that hath the God of Jacob
for his help : and whose hope is in the Lord
his God ;
Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and
all that therein is : who keepeth his promise
for ever ;
Who helpeth them to right that suffer wrong :
who feedeth the hungry.
The Lord looseth men out of prison : the
Lord giveth sight to the blind.
The Lord helpeth them that are fallen : the
Lord careth for the righteous.
The Lord careth for the strangers ; he defend-
eth the fatherless and widow : as for the way
of the ungodly, he turneth it upside down.
The Lord thy God, O Sion, shall be King for
evermore : and throughout all generations.
Cj[ Domine, refugium. Psalm 90.
IORD, thou hast been our refuge : from one
¦> generation to another.
Before the mountains were brought forth, or

4 Memorial Services
ever the earth and the world were made : thou
art God from everlasting, and world without end.
Thou turnest man to destruction : again thou
sayest, Come again, ye children of men.
For a thousand years in thy sight are but as
yesterday : seeing that is past as a watch in the
night. As soon as thou scatterest them, they are
even as a sleep : and fade away suddenly like
the grass.
In the morning it is green, and groweth up :
but in the evening it is cut down, dried up, and
withered. For we consume away in thy displeasure : and
are afraid at thy wrathful indignation.
Thou hast set our misdeeds before thee : and
our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
For when thou art angry all our days are gone :
we bring our years to an end, as it were a tale
that is told.
The days of our age are threescore years and
ten ; and though men be so strong, that they
come to fourscore years : yet is their strength
then but labour and sorrow ; so soon passeth it
away, and we are gone.
But who regardeth the power of thy wrath :
for even thereafter as a man feareth, so is thy
displeasure. O teach us to number our days : that we may
apply our hearts unto wisdom.
Turn thee again, O Lord, at the last : and
be gracious unto thy servants.

Memorial Services 5
O satisfy us with thy mercy, and that soon :
so shall we rejoice and be glad all the days of
our life.
Comfort us again now after the time that thou
hast plagued us : and for the years wherein we
have suffered adversity.
Shew thy servants thy work : and their chil
dren thy glory.
And the glorious Majesty of the Lord our
God be upon us : prosper thou the work of
our hands upon us, O prosper thou our handy-
work.
If Or else Psalm 39, Dixi, custodiam.
C][ Then shall be read this Lesson, or one or more paragraphs of it.
NOW is Christ risen from the dead, and
become the first-fruits of them that slept.
For since by man came death, by man came
also the resurrection of the dead. For as in
Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be
made alive. But every man in his own order :
Christ the first-fruits ; afterward they that are
Christ's, at his coming. Then cometh the end,
when he shall have delivered up the kingdom
to God, even the Father ; when he shall have
put down all rule, arid all authority, and power.
For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies
under his feet. The last enemy that shall be
destroyed is death. For he hath put all things
under his feet. But when he saith, all things
are put under him, it is manifest that he is

6 Memorial Services
excepted, which did put all things under him.
And when all things shall be subdued unto
him, then shall the Son also himself be subject
unto him that put all things under him, that
God may be all in all.
Else what shall they do which are baptized
for the dead, if the dead rise not at all ? Why
are they then baptized for the dead ? and why
stand we in jeopardy every hour ? I protest
by your rejoicing, which I have in Christ Jesus
our Lord, I die daily. If after the manner of
men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus,
what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not ?
Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.
Be not deceived : evil communications corrupt
good manners. Awake to righteousness, and
sin not ; for some have not the knowledge of
God : I speak this to your shame.
But some man will say, How are the dead
raised up ? and with what body do they come ?
Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not
quickened, except it die. And that which thou
sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be,
but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of
some other grain : but God giveth it a body,
as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his
own body. All flesh is not the same flesh ;
but there is one kind of flesh of men, another
flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another
of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and
bodies terrestrial ; but the glory of the celestial
is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

Memorial Services 7
There is one glory of the sun, and another
glory of the moon, and another glory of the
stars ; for one star differeth from another
star in glory. So also is the resurrection of
the dead. It is sown in corruption ; it is raised
in incorruption : it is sown in dishonour ; it
is raised in glory : it it sown in weakness ; it
is raised in power : it is sown a natural body ;
it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural
body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it
is written, The first man Adam was made a living
soul, the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
Howbeit, that was not first which is spiritual, but
that which is natural ; and afterward that which
is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy :
the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is
the earthy, such are they that are earthy : and
as is the heavenly, such are they also that are
heavenly. And as we have borne the image of
the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the
heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood
cannot inherit the kingdom of God ; neither doth
corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew
you a mystery : We shall not all sleep, but we
shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twink
ling of an eye, at the last trump, (for the trumpet
shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incor
ruptible, and we shall be changed). For this
corruptible must put on incorruption, and this
mortal must put on immortality.
So when this corruptible shall have put on

8 Memorial Services
incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on
immortality ; then shall be brought to pass the
saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in
victory. O death, where is thy sting ? O grave,
where is thy victory ? The sting of death is sin,
and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks
be to God, which giveth us the victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved
brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always
abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch
as ye know that your labour is not in vain in
the Lord. Or this Lesson.
THOUGH our outward man perish, yet the
inward man is renewed day by day. For
our light affliction, which is but for the moment,
worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal
weight of glory ; while we look not at the
things which are seen, but at the things which
are not seen : for the things which are seen are
temporal, but the things which are not seen are
eternal. For we know that if our earthly house
of this bodily frame be dissolved, we have a
building from God, a house not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens.
Let us pray.
Lord, have mercy upon us.
Christ, have mercy upon us.
Lord, have mercy upon us.

OUR Father, Which art in heaven, Hallowed
be thy Name, Thy kingdom come, Thy

But deliver us from evil. Amen.

take this our brother into thy merciful keeping,
beseeching thee that we, with all those that
are departed in the true faith of thy holy Name,
may have our perfect consummation and bliss,
both in body and soul, in thy eternal and ever
lasting glory ; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen. WE beseech thee, O Lord, to shew upon us
thine exceeding great mercy, which no
tongue can worthily express, and that it may
please thee to deliver us from all our sins and

from every evil thing ; through Jesus Christ
our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee
and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without
end. Amen.

the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore.

THE COMMEMORATION OF
THE DEPARTED
€][ Which may be said at the time of the funeral by those who go not
to the church-yard or cemetery ,- and the same may be said also
at any other time.
Cj[ First a Hymn may be sung. Then shall be sung one or more
of the Psalms following.
Antiphon. I will walk before the Lord : in the
land of the living.
Dominus regit me. Psalm 2 3 .
THE Lord is my shepherd : therefore can I
lack nothing.
He shall feed me in a green pasture : and lead
me forth beside the waters of comfort.
He shall convert my soul : and bring me
forth in the paths of righteousness, for his
Name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the
shadow of death, I will fear no evil : for thou
art with me ; thy rod and thy staff comfort me.
Thou shalt prepare a table before me against
them that trouble me : thou hast anointed my
head with oil, and my cup shall be full.
But thy loving-kindness and mercy shall follow
me all the days of my life : and I will dwell in
the house of the Lord for ever.

12 Memorial Services
Antiphon. If thou, Lord, wilt be extreme to mark
what is done amiss : O Lord, who may abide it ?
De profundis. Psalm 130.
OUT of the deep have I called unto thee, O
Lord : Lord, hear my voice.
O let thine ears consider well : the voice of
my complaint.
If thou, Lord, wilt be extreme to mark what is
done amiss : O Lord, who may abide it ?
For there is mercy with thee : therefore shalt
thou be feared.
I look for the Lord ; my soul doth wait for
him : in his word is my trust.
My soul looketh for the Lord : more than
watchmen for the morning, yea, than watchmen
for the morning.
O Israel, trust in the Lord, for with the Lord
there is mercy : and with him is plenteous re
demption. And he shall redeem Israel : from all his sins.
Antiphon. The Lord shall preserve thee from
all evil : yea, it is even he that shall keep thy
soul.
Leyati oculos. Ps. 121.
I WILL lift up mine eyes unto the hills : from
whence cometh my help.
My help cometh even from the Lord : who
hath made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved : and
he that keepeth thee will not sleep.

Memorial Services 13
Behold, he that keepeth Israel : shall neither
slumber nor sleep.
The Lord himself is thy keeper : the Lord is
thy defence upon thy right hand ;
So that the sun shall not burn thee by day :
neither the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil :
yea, it is even he that shall keep thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out, and thy
coming in : from this time forth for evermore.
C| Then shall be read one or more of the paragraphs from the Quire
Office for the Burial of the Dead, Now is Christ risen from
the Dead, or this Lesson following.
Rev. xxi. 23.
THE City had no need of the sun, neither of
the moon to shine in it : for the glory of
God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light
thereof. And the nations of them which are
saved, shall walk in the light of it : and the
kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour
into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at
all by day : for there shall be no night there.
And they shall bring the glory and honour of the
nations into it. And there shall in no wise enter
into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever
worketh abomination, or maketh a lie : but they
which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
Anthem. I heard a voice from heaven, saying
unto me, Write, From henceforth blessed are the
dead which die in the Lord : Even so, saith the
Spirit, for they rest from their labours.

A Service which may be said al any time in memory of the Departed.
<I First a Hymn may be sung. Then shall be sung the first Psalm,
with its Antiphon.
Antiphon. Make thy way plain before my
face : O Lord my God.

Verba mea auribus. Psalm 5 .
PONDER my words, O Lord : consider my
meditation.
O hearken thou unto the voice of my calling,
my King, and my God : for unto thee will I
make my prayer.
My voice shalt thou hear betimes, O Lord :
early in the morning will I direct my prayer unto
thee, and will look up.
For thou art the God that hast no pleasure
in wickedness : neither shall any evil dwell with
thee. Such as be foolish shall not stand in thy sight :
for thou hatest all them that work vanity.
Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing :
the Lord will abhor both the blood-thirsty and
deceitful man.
But as for me, I will come into thine house,
16

Memorial Services 17
even upon the multitude of thy mercy : and in
thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness, because
of mine enemies : make thy way plain before my
face. And let all them that, put their trust in thee
rejoice : they shall ever be giving of thanks,
because thou defendest them ; they that love thy
Name shall be joyful in thee ;
For thou, Lord, wilt give thy blessing unto
the righteous : and with thy favourable kind
ness wilt thou defend him as with a shield.
•J Then shall be read the First Lesson.
Isaiah lxi. 1.
THE Spirit of the Lord is upon me ; because
the Lord hath anointed me to preach
good tidings unto the meek : he hath sent me
to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim
liberty to the captives, and the opening of the
prison to them that are bound ; to proclaim
the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day
of vengeance of our God ; to comfort all that
mourn ; to appoint unto them that mourn in
Sion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil
of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for
the spirit of heaviness ; that they might be called
trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord,
that he might be glorified. And they shall build
the old wastes, they shall raise up the former deso
lations, they shall repair the waste cities, the
desolations of many generations.

Anthem. I know that my Redeemer liveth :
and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the
earth. And though after my skin this body be
destroyed, yet from my flesh shall I see God :
whom I shall see, and not another.
<]J Then shall be sung the second Psalm.
Antiphon. Art not thou from everlasting, O
Lord my God, mine Holy One : we shall not
die.
Quemadmodum. Psalm 42.
I IKE as the hart desireth the water-brooks : so

My soul is athirst for God, yea, even for the
living God : when shall I come to appear before
the presence of God ?
My tears have been my meat day and night :
while they daily say unto me, Where is now
thy God ?
Now when I think thereupon, I pour out
my heart by myself : for I went with the multi
tude, and brought them forth into the house of
God ;
In the voice of praise and thanksgiving : among
such as keep holy-day.
Why art thou so full of heaviness, O my
soul : and why art thou so disquieted within
me ?
Put thy trust in God : for I will yet give him
thanks for the help of his countenance.

Memorial Services 19
My God, my soul is vexed within me : there
fore will I remember thee from the land of
Jordan, and the little hills and Hermon.
One deep calleth another, because of the noise
of the water-spouts : all thy waves and storms
are gone over me.
Yet the Lord will grant his loving-kindness
in the day-time : and in the night-season will
I sing of him, and make my prayer unto the
God of my life.
I will say unto the God of my strength, Why
hast thou forgotten me : why go I thus heavily,
while the enemy oppresseth me ?
My bones are smitten asunder as with a
sword : while mine enemies that trouble me
cast me in the teeth ;
Namely, while they say daily unto me :
Where is now thy God ?
Why art thou so vexed, O my soul : and why
art thou so disquieted within me ?
O put thy trust in God : for I will yet thank
him, which is the help of my countenance, and
my God.
(ft The Second Lesson.
St. John v. 20.
JESUS said, The Father loveth the Son, and
sheweth him all things that himself doeth :
and he will show him greater works than these,
that ye may marvel. For as the Father raiseth
up the dead and quickeneth them, even so the

2o Memorial Services
Son quickeneth whom he will. For neither doth
the Father judge any man, but he hath given all
judgement unto the Son ; that all may honour
the Son, even as they honour the Father. He
that honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the
Father which hath sent him. Verily, verily, I
say unto you, He that heareth my word, and
believeth on him that sent me, hath everlast
ing life, and cometh not into judgement, but
hath passed out of death into life.
•J The second Anthem.
Anthem. I am the resurrection and the life,
saith the Lord ; he that believeth in me, though
he were dead, yet shall he live : and whosoever
liveth and believeth in me shall never die.
•J Then shall be sung the third Psalm.
Jlntiphon. Upon this rock will I build my
Church : and the gates of hell shall not prevail
against it.
Dominus illuminatio. Psalm 27.
THE Lord is my light, and my salvation ;
whom then shall I fear : the Lord is the
strength of my life ; of whom then shall 1 be
afraid ?
When the wicked, even mine enemies, and
my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh :
they stumbled and fell.
Though an host of men were laid against me,

Memorial Services 21
yet shall not my heart be afraid : and though
there rose up war against me, yet will I put my
trust in him.
One thing have I desired of the Lord, which
I will require : even that I may dwell in the
house of the Lord all the days of my life, to
behold the fair beauty of the Lord, and to visit
his temple.
For in the time of trouble he shall hide me
in his tabernacle : yea, in the secret place of
his dwelling shall he hide me, and set me up
upon a rock of stone.
And now shall he lift up mine head : above
mine enemies round about me.
Therefore will I offer in his dwelling an
oblation with great gladness : I will sing, and
speak praises unto the Lord.
Hearken unto my voice, O Lord, when I
cry unto thee : have mercy upon me, and hear
me. My heart hath talked of thee, Seek ye my
face : Thy face, Lord, will I seek.
O hide not thou thy face from me : nor cast
thy servant away in displeasure.
Thou hast been my succour : leave me not,
neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
I should utterly have fainted : but that I
believe verily to see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
O tarry thou the Lord's leisure : be strong,
and he shall comfort thine heart ; and put thou
thy trust in the Lord.

were passed away, and there was no more sea.
And I John saw the holy City, new Jerusalem,
coming down from God out of heaven, prepared
as a bride adorned for her husband. And I
heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold,
the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will
dwell with them, and they shall be his people,
and God himself shall be with them, and be their
God. And God shall wipe away all tears from
their eyes ; and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there
be any more pain ; for the former things are
passed away. And he that sat upon the throne
said, Behold, I make all things new. And he
said unto me, Write : for these words are true
and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done :
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the

AT THE HOLY COMMUNION

1ft The Creed and Gloria in Excelsis may be left unsaid ; and in
place of the Collect, Epistle, and (gospel of the Day, may be
said those that follow here. A Hymn may be sung instead
of the Introit.
Introit.
REST eternal grant unto them, O Lord :
and may light perpetual shine upon them.
Thou, O God, art praised in Sion ; and unto thee
shall the vow be performed in Jerusalem : thou that
hearest the prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
The Collect.
O MERCIFUL God, the Father ot our Lord
Jesus Christ, who is the resurrection and
the life ; in whom whosoever believeth shall
live, though he die ; and whosoever liveth,
and believeth in him, shall not die eternally ;
We meekly beseech thee, O Father, to raise us
from the death of sin unto the life of righteous
ness ; that, when we shall depart this life, we
may rest in him, as our hope is this our brother
doth ; and that, at the general Resurrection in
the last day, both we and this our brother de
parted, may with all thine elect saints obtain
eternal joy. Grant this, O Lord God, by the
25 E

26 Memorial Services
means of our advocate Jesus Christ, who with
thee and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth
one God for ever. Amen.
1ft Or this.
O ETERNAL Lord God, who holdest all
souls in life, Shed forth, we beseech thee,
upon thy whole Church in paradise and on earth
the bright beams of thy light and heavenly
comfort ; and grant that we, following the good
examples of those who have served thee here
and are at rest, may at the last enter with them
into thine unending joy ; through Jesus Christ
our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and
the Holy Ghost, ever one God world without
end. Amen.

The Epistle, i Thess. iv. 13.
I WOULD not have you to be ignorant,
brethren, concerning them which are asleep,
that ye sorrow not, even as others which have
no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and
rose again, even so them also which sleep in
Jesus will God bring with him.
The Gospel. St. John vi. 37.
ALL that the Father giveth me shall come to
JT\. me ; and him that cometh to me I will in
no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven,
not to do mine own will, but the will of him that

sent me. And this is the Father's will which
hath sent me, that of all which he hath given
me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up
again at the last day. And this is the will of
him that sent me, that every one which seeth the
Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting
life : and I will raise him up at the last day.
1ft Note that, when the Body is laid in a church or chapel on any
day before the Burial, (or on the day itself at the time when
the Body is brought to the Church,) the Prayer following may
be said, and Hymns sung.
*ijf . The Lord be with you :
Jty. And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.
Silent Prayer.
**jt . Lord, thou hast been our refuge :
iy?. From one generation to another.
INCLINE thine ear, O Lord, to our prayer,
as we humbly intreat thee mercifully to
bestow the souls of thy servants, whom thou
hast commanded to depart from this world, in
the mansions of peace and light ; and bid them
be received into the fellowship of thy saints ;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and
reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God,
world without end. Amen.
