Almighty, gracious God, who doest preserve our life in death, we beseech
Thee, that Thou wouldst turn the eyes of Thy mercy to this sick person;
comfort him in body and in soul, and in mercy forgive him all sins.
Receive the offering of the innocent death of Jesus Christ, Thy dear Son,
for the payment of his transgressions, for he is baptized in His name,
and washed and purified by His blood. Deliver him from his bodily griefs,
preserve him against the accusations of conscience, and against all the
temptations of the wicked enemy, so that he may fight the good fight of
faith and obtain the victory. Grant him a blessed journey to everlasting
life, send Thy holy angels, that they may escort him to the assembly of
the elect, in Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
