O God, whose will is life and good
For
all of mortal breath:
Unite
in bonds of servant-hood
All
those who strive with death.
2
Make
strong their hands and heart and wills
To
drive disease afar,
To
strive against the body’s ills
And
wage Your healing war.
3
Before
them set Your gracious will,
That
mercy they proclaim,
Make
known the great physician ‘s mind,
Affirm
the Savior’s name.
4
Before
them set Your gracious will,
That
they, with heart and soul,
To
You may consecrate their skill
And
make the suffered whole.
