The Forgotten Dead Prayer Lyrics

The Forgotten Dead Prayer Lyrics

O Merciful God,
Take Pity On Those
Souls Who Have No
Particular Friends
And Intercessors To
Recommend Them To Thee,

Who, Either Through The
Negligence Of Those Who
Are Alive, Or Through
Length Of Time Are
Forgotten By Their
Friends And By All.

Spare Them, O Lord,
And Remember Thine
Own Mercy, When Others
Forget To Appeal To It.

Let Not The Souls Which
Thou Hast Created Be
Parted From Thee,
Their Creator.

May The Souls Of All
The Faithful Departed,
Through The Mercy Of God,
Rest In Peace.

Amen.
