"Hasten, O God, the time when Thou
shalt send from Thy right hand
Him whom Thou wilt send; at Whose appearing the saints departed
shall be raised, and we which are alive shall be caught up to
meet Him, and so shall ever be with Him. Under the veil of
earthly things we have now communion with Him; but with unveiled
face we shall then behold Him, rejoicing in His glory, made
like
unto Him in His glory; and by Him we, with all Thy Church, holy
and unspotted, shall be presented with exceeding joy before
the
presence of Thy glory. Hear us, O heavenly Father, for His sake,
to Whom, with Thee and the Holy Ghost, One living and true God,
be glory for ever and ever. Amen."
