On Recovering from Sickness.
Almighty Father!—
By Thy mercy,
I am once more able to enjoy
the priceless gift of good health;
once more I feel health in my limbs
and strength in my mind.
Almighty God,
I thank Thee for having kept me alive.
O Lord, teach me
to use my health and strength
to do Thy service.
Truly the light is sweet,
and a pleasant thing it is
for the eyes to behold the sun. (Ecclesiastes 11:7)

“On Recovering from Sickness” was written by Lilian Helen Montagu and published in Prayers for Jewish Working Girls (1895), page 26.
