O LORD our God, who art the Physician of our souls and of our bodies; who chastenest and again Thou healest; We beseech Thee mercifully to regard Thy servant, [N], for whom we pray that his life may be spared, and strength restored. O Thou, who didst give Thy Son to bear our sicknesses and carry our sorrows; for His sake deal compassionately with this Thy servant, and send upon him Thy healing power and virtue, both in his body and in his soul and spirit. Into Thy hands we commit him; unto Thy gracious mercy and protection we commend him, as unto a faithful and merciful Saviour. Amen.
"O’er all those wide extended plains / Shines one eternal day;
"There God the Son forever reigns / And scatters night away."
