Anointing with oil.

GREAT God, be pleased to hear us now While we to thee would humbly bow; In mercy now the sick do view, Who're still dispos'd thy will to do.

May they now be abundant blest; Restore them if thou seest best; If not, may they endeavor still, To be submissive to thy will.

May they be by thy Spirit led, While we the oil pour on their head; This duty from thy word we claim, T' anoint the sick in thy blest name.

May all once in thy kingdom rest, May all forever there be blest; There in that blissful place above, May all be joined in bonds of love.

There sickness shall be known no more All pains and anguish shall be o'er; In everlasting feasts of joy, Our souls shall find a blest employ.
