Saved I have been . . . saved by a Living Lord.

I have received life through His gracious accord---

given escape from my baser self---as from a trouble some wraith,

comforted in the words compiled by the Orthodox Faith. 

Lord Jesus:  I pray, as I begin to die,

to be spared that last, and most dire, temptation;

and soaring, starward, toward the Heavenly

Kingdom of unending, jubilant exultation.

I look to You, and unto You, let come my cry. 

Brethren:  let us praise His Mercy, continuously;

His Mercy in which we are kept throughout eternity.
