The part of St. Francis' Canticle of Creatures that never seems to make the hymnal:
Praised be my Lord for all those who pardon one another for love's sake, and who endure weakness and tribulation: blessed are they who peacefully shall endure, for you, O Most High, will give them a crown.
Praised be my Lord for our sister, the death of the body, from which no human escapes. Woe to him who dies in mortal sin. Blessed are they who die in your most holy will, for the second death shall have no power to do them harm.
Praise and bless the Lord, and give thanks to him, and serve him with great humility.
