O Lord Jesus Christ, Thou ever-gracious Lord and Saviour! Thou who hast
become a guest and stranger for us upon earth, I come unto Thee humbled
in heart, and beseech Thee, that Thou wouldst permit my whole life and
walk to be acceptable unto Thee. Preserve me also upon this my journey by
the protection of Thy beloved angels upon all my ways graciously from all
evil and accident, misfortune and danger of soul and body, so that I may
successfully accomplish my work and return again to my beloved ones, in
health and in vigor. Unto Thee alone, O Lord, do I commit my body and
soul, all that I have and possess, during my journey. Do Thou direct my
course and way to my welfare and blessedness. In the mean time do Thou
faithfully protect my loved ones at home, that we may meet each other
again in health and happiness. And when I have finally accomplished my
journey of life here in this world, receive me unto Thyself, into Thy
glory, by a peaceful and a blessed death. Amen.
