THE BURIAL SERVICE

The Priest, meeting the Corpse and sprinkling it with Holy Water, recites as follows:

Ant.Si iniquitátes observáveris, Domine, Domine, quis sustinébit?

Psalm cxxix, "De Profundis" (page 366).

While the Corpse is being carried to the Chapel, the Priest thus continues:

Ant. Exultábunt Domino ossa humiliáta.

Psalm 1, "Miserére mei, Deus" (page 344).

Having entered the Chapel, the following Responsory is said:

Subvenite sancti Dei, occúrrite angeli Domini, suscipiéntes ánimam ejus, offeréntes earn in conspéctu Altíssimi.

V. Suscípiat te Christus, qui vocávit te; et in sinum Abrahæ angeli dedúcant te. Suscipiéntes animam ejus.

V. Réquiem ætérnam dona ei Dómine.

R. Et lux perpétua lúceat ei.
