1 Father, whose will is life and good
For all of mortal breath,
Bind strong the bond of brotherhood
Of those who fight with death.

2 Empower the hands and hearts and wills
Of friends both near and far,
Who battle with the body's ills
And wage your holy war.

3 Where'er they heal the maimed and blind,
Let love of Christ attend:
Proclaim the good Physician's mind,
And prove the Savior friend.

4 O Father, look from heaven and bless
Whate'er your servants do,
Their works of pure unselfishness,
Made consecrate to you.

Amen.
