That at the hour of death we may be received into heaven with thee, (pray for us.)
Be merciful unto us, O Lord, (and pardon us.)
Be merciful unto us, O Lord, (and graciously hear us.)

From the snares of the devil,
From eternal death,

By his ardent love,
By his indefatigable zeal,
By his extraordinary labors,
By his inexpressible penances,
By his voluntary poverty,
By his perpetual chastity,
By his perfect obedience,
By his profound humility,
By his rare constinancy,
By all his other virtues,
