O Lord, hear my prayer. 3y We beseech thee, hear us. DEVOTIONS FOR THE SICK. 307 R. And let my supplications come unto thee. THE PIIATER.

Almighty and everlasting God, in whose hands are the keys of life and death, and whose infinite wisdom disposes all things for the best to those who love thee, behold, we beseech thee, thy servant whom thou hast cast upon the bed of sickness, and support with thv grace his afflicted spirit : strengthen His faith, increase his hope, and perfect his charity ; sanctify to him every accident of his sufferings ; that, if thy mercy shall restore him to his health, he may more carefully cor- rect the errors of his former life ; and if it shall please thee to call him to thyself, he may pass through the valley of the shadow of death with safety, and be transported by thy holy angels into the mansions of bliss ; where no fears shall trouble him, no pains torment him, nor any grief disturb the quiet of his mind ; but perfect security, pure delight, and unspeakable joy, shall forever be established unto him : through our Lord Jesus Christ, thy only Son, who, with thee and the Holy Ghost, liveth and reigneth one God, world without end. Amen
