"Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because the children and sucklings swoon in the streets of the city. They say to their mothers, Where is corn and wine? When they swooned as the wounded in the streets of the city, when their soul was poured out into their mother's bosom." Lamentations 2:11-12
O LORD Jesus Christ, who by thy death
didst take away the sting of death: Grant unto us thy servants
so to follow in faith where thou hast led the way, that we may
at length fall asleep peacefully in thee, and wake up after thy
likeness; through thy mercy, who livest with the Father and the
Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.
