 "When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple: He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed." Matthew 27:57-60
GRANT, O Lord, that as we are baptized
into the death of thy blessed Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ,
so by continual mortifying our corrupt affections we may be buried
with him; and that through the grave, and gate of death, we may
pass to our joyful resurrection; for his merits, who died, and
was buried, and rose again for us, the same thy Son Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen.
