Prayer for a very sick person
Father of
mercies, and God of all comfort, our only help in
time of need: We fly unto thee for succour in behalf
of this thy servant, here lying under thy hand in
great weakness of body. Look graciously upon him, 0
Lord; and the more the outward man decayeth,
strengthen him, we beseech thee, so much the more
continually with thy grace and Holy Spirit in the
inner man. Give him unfeigned repentance for all the
errors of his life past, and stedfast faith in thy
Son Jesus; that his sins may be done away by thy
mercy, and his pardon sealed in heaven, before he go
hence, and be no more seen. We know, 0 Lord, that
there is no word impossible with thee; and that, if
thou wilt, thou canst even yet raise him up, and
grant him a longer continuance amongst us: Yet,
forasmuch as in all appearance the time of his
dissolution draweth near, so fit and prepare him, we
beseech thee, against the hour of death, that after
his departure hence in peace, and in thy favour, his
soul may be received into thine everlasting kingdom,
through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ,
thine only Son, our Lord and Saviour.
Amen.
