Prayer for a Sick Child
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, 0 Lord, with thy salvation; deliver him in thy
good appointed time from his bodily pain, and save
his soul for thy mercies' sake: That, if it shall 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, and doing good in his
generation; 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, 0 Lord, for thy mercies' sake, in the
same thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ, who liveth and
reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God,
world without end.
Amen.
