A Thanksgiving for those that are restored, from Dangerous Sickness.
We thank thee O Most Gracious God, that thou hast heard 1us when we cried unto thee, for thy servant in his weakness and distress, that thou hast not turned away our Prayer; nor thy mercy from him, we cried to thee and thou hast delivered and healed him, thou hast brought him from the grave, thou hast kept him alive, that he should not go down into the Pit, thou hast forgiven his iniquity, and healed his diseases thou hast redeemed his life from destruction, and hast crowned him with loving kindness, and tender mercies, thou hast not deprived him of the residue of his years, thou hast repented thee of the Evil: His Age is nor departed; Thou hast renewed his youth, and given him to see man, with the Inhabitants of the World; And to see the Goodness of the Lord, in the land of the living, day and night ⟨p. 77⟩thy hand was heavy upon him, but thou hast turned away thy 2wrath, and hast forgiven the iniquity of his sin, for this every one that is godly shall pray unto thee in a time of trouble; […] Thou art a hiding place, thou preservest us from trouble, when our Flesh and our heart faileth us, thou art the strength of our heart, and our Portion for ever; indeed Lord thou art good unto thine Israel; Even to such as are clean of heart; many are the afflictions of the Righteous, but thou deliverest them out of all; Though all the day long they be afflicted, and chastened every morning, yet are they continually with thee; Thou holdest them by the right hand, thou art a present help in trouble; when all the help of man is vain. Let thy servant love thee, because thou hast heard his voice and supplication, Let him offer unto thee, the sacrifice of thanksgiving; and pay his vows to the most high; and take the Cup of Salvation, and call upon thee all his days, let him be wholly devoted to thy praise, and glorify thee in Soul and Body, as being Thine, and seasonably depart in peace unto thy glory? through Jesus Christ our life, and righteousness.
