Let us pray. We beseech You, O Lord our God, that in that charity, with which Your Son, loving the world, handed Himself over to death, we ourselves may be found to be walking swiftly by assisting You.

Preface
Preface of Lazarus

Official Latin from the 1969 & 2002 Roman Missals
Vere dignum et iustum est, æquum et salútare, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine, sancte Pater, omnípotens ætérne Deus: per Christum Dóminum nostrum.
Ipse enim verus homo Lázarum flevit amícum, et Deus ætérnus e túmulo suscitávit, qui, humáni géneris miserátus, ad novam vitam sacris mystériis nos addúcit.
Per quem maiestátem tuam adórat exércitus Angelórum, ante conspéctum tuum in æternitáte lætantium. Cum quibus et nostras voces ut admítti iúbeas, deprecámur, sócia exsultatióne dicéntes:
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus ...

Official 1973 I.C.E.L. Translation (Used at Mass in English)
Father, all-powerful and ever-living God, we do well always and everywhere to give you thanks through Jesus Christ our Lord.
As a man like us, Jesus wept for Lazarus his friend. As the eternal God, he raised Lazarus from the dead. In his love for us all, Christ gives us the sacraments to lift us up to everlasting life.
Through him the angels of heaven offer their prayer of adoration as they rejoice in your presence for ever. May our voices be one with theirs in their triumphant hymn of praise:
Holy, holy, holy ...

My Own Literal Translation
It is truly right and just, proper and availing unto salvation, that we always and everywhere give thanks to You, O Lord, Holy Father, Almighty and Eternal God: through Christ our Lord.
For He Himself, as true Man, wept for His friend Lazarus, and as Eternal God He raised him from the grave, having taken pity on the human race, He leads us to new life by these sacred Mysteries.
Through Whom the army of Angels adore Your Majesty, rejoicing before Your Presence in eternity. We humbly beg that You might grant to allow our voices to be united with theirs in exultation saying:
Holy, Holy, Holy ...

Official Latin from the 1969 & 2002 Roman Missals
Orémus. Quaésumus, omnípotens Deus, ut inter eius membra semper numerémur, cuius Córpori communicámus et Sánguini.
Qui vivit et regnat in saécula sæculórum.

Official 1973 I.C.E.L. Translation (Used at Mass in English)
Let us pray. Almighty Father, by this sacrifice may we always remain one with your Son, Jesus Christ, whose body and blood we share,
for he is Lord for ever and ever.

My Own Literal Translation
Let us pray. We beseech You, Almighty God, that we may always be counted among those members of Him, Whose Body and Blood we receive.
Who lives and reigns forever and ever.
