Prayer of Commendation

Lancelot Andrewes (1555-1626)

I commend to you, O Lord, my soul and my body, my mind and my thoughts, my prayers and my vows, my senses and my members, my words and my works, my life and my death; my brothers, my sisters, and their children; my friends, my benefactors, my well-wishers, those who have claim on me, my kindred, my neighbors, my country, and all Christian people. Amen.
