Almighty God, and merciful
Father, to whom alone belong the issues of life and death: Look down
from heaven, we humbly beseech thee, with the eyes of mercy upon this
child now lying upon the bed of sickness: Visit him, 0 Lord, with thy
salvation; deliver him in thy good appointed time from his bodily pain,
and save his soul for thy mercies' sake: That, if it shall be thy
pleasure to prolong his days here on earth, he may live to thee, and be
an instrument of thy glory, by serving thee faithfully, and doing good
in his generation; or else receive him into those heavenly habitations,
where the souls of them that sleep in the Lord Jesus enjoy perpetual
rest and felicity. Grant this, 0 Lord, for thy mercies' sake, in the
same thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with thee
and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.
