Merciful Jesus, have mercy on me.

Merciful Jesus, have mercy on me.
When my last sighs shall force my soul to issue from, my body, accept them as the children, of a loving impatience to come to thee,
Merciful Jesus, hare mercy on me.
When my soul, trembling on my lips, shall bid adieu to the world, and leave my body lifeless, pale, and cold, receive this separation as a homage which I willingly pay to thy divine majesty, and in that last moment of my mortal life,
Merciful Jesus, have mercy on me.
When at length my soul, admitted to thy presence, shall first behold the splendour of thy majesty, reject me not, but receive me into thy bosom where I may for ever sing thy praises; and in that moment when eternity shall begin to me,
Merciful Jesus have mercy on me.

Through Christ our Lord Amen.
