Stretch Thy Blessed hand over those in need of Thy help.

Lighten their sorrows and heal their wounds.

Almighty Father, breathe into us Thy power, Thy strength;

And when the storm breaks, grant us patience.

With prayers on our lips, numb the pain in our bodies;

With compassion, close our eyes with Thy blessed hand forever.

When we are no more, open Thy doors to the hungry spirits of our souls.

Guide them in a prayer to be worthy of Thy Kingdom,

And grant that we may receive Thy mercy on the day of judgment.

Blessed Father, Thou hast bestowed life upon us with the great power of Thy hand.
