Visit, I beseech Thee, most gracious Fa-
ther, this family with thy salvation; let Thy
blessings descend, and rest upon all that be-
long unto it, as well absent as present. Con-
tinue to preserve us, Thy servants, both in
life and in death; grant us whatsoever is
necessary for our bodies or our souls; guide
us by Thy counsels here, and hereafter
bring us to Thy glory: through Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen.
