For Mind and Body
Give us peace of mind in our day, O Lord, and a sufficiency of bodily comfort, that we be not tortured with changing friendships or opinions nor crucified by disease, but ever in strength, constancy and pleasantness, walk in a fair way before thy face and in the sight of men; and if it please Thee, O Lord, take us soon in health of mind and honour of body into thy eternal rest.
