O Lord Jesus Christ, King of Glory, deliver the souls of all the faithful
departed from the pains of hell and from the deep pit: deliver them from
the mouth of the lion, that hell may not swallow them up, and they may not
fall into darkness: but may the holy standard-bearer, Michael, introduce
them to the holy light: which Thou didst promise of old to Abraham and to
his seed. We offer to Thee, O Lord, sacrifices and prayers: do Thou receive
them in behalf of those souls whom we commemorate this day. Grant them, O
Lord, to pass from death to that life which Thou didst promise of old to
Abraham and to his seed.
