Addressing God as

O God of spirits and of all flesh, who hasthave trampled down death, overthrown the devil, and given life to ThyYour world: give rest, O Lord, to the soul of ThyYour servant N., who has fallen asleep, in a place of light, a place of green pasture, a place of refreshment, from which pain, sorrow and sighing have fled away.

Pardon every sin committed by him (her) in word, deed or thought, for ThouYou artare a good God who lovestlove mankind. There is no man who lives and does not sin, for ThouYou alone artare without sin; ThyYour righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and ThyYour word is truth.

For ThouYou artare the resurrection, the life and the repose of ThyYour servant N., who has fallen asleep, O Christ our God, and to TheeYou we send up glory, together with ThineYour unoriginate Father and ThineYour all-holy, good and life-giving Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Memory eternal.
