Yet, O LORD GOD most Holy, O LORD most Mighty, O Holy and most Merciful SAVIOUR, deliver us not into the bitter pains of eternal death. Amen. (7.) Thou knowest, LORD, the secrets of our hearts; shut not Thy merciful ears to our prayer; but spare us, LORD most Holy, O GOD most Mighty, O Holy and Merciful SAVIOUR, Thou most worthy Judge Eternal, suffer us not, at our last hour, for any pains of death, to fall from Thee.
