"Most
merciful Father...Be merciful to this thy servant; be near her with thy
present help, in the needful time of trouble; and though in travail she
hath sorrow, give her strength to bring forth. Being delivered, let her
remember no more the anguish, for joy that a child is born into the
world. Bless her in the fruit of her body; and being safely delivered,
let her return thee hearty thanks, and devote it and the rest of her
life to thy service, through Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen."
A Christian Directory
