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 O Lord, with thy salvation; deliver him from his bodily pain, and save his soul for thy mercies sake: that if it 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, 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, O Lord, for thy mercies sake, through thy only Son our Lord Jesus Christ, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.
