This Blessing of Water text is from Byzantine Melkite Euchologion published by the Eparchy of Newton (Our Lady of the Annunciation (Al Bisharah) in Roslindale, MA), United States.

Priest: Let us pray to the Lord.

Response: Lord, have mercy.

Priest: O Lord, our holy God, who created the universe from nothing and imposed limits upon the waters by the wisdom of your power, bless + this water and sanctify it by the power, action and descent of your all-holy, good and life-giving Spirit. May it bring protection for your servants from all harm, from the destruction of evil, and freedom from superstition. May it bring healing for the sick. Make it a redemption of sins, a cure for the suffering, a purification of soul and body and sanctification of homes. And may it bring healing for the general welfare of all. Grant sanctification, blessing and health to all those who receive and make use of it.

For through this, your name will be glorified, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and always and forever and ever. Amen.

O God of all spirits and of all flesh, who have destroyed death, overcome the devil, and given life to the world: grant, O Lord, to the souls of your servants Bucky and Shirley, who has departed from this life, that it may rest in a place of light, in a place of happiness, in a place of peace, where there is no pain, no grief, no sighing. And since You are a gracious God and the Lover of Mankind, forgive him/her every sin he/she has committed by thought, or word, or deed, for there is not a man who lives and does not sin : You alone are without sin, your righteousness is everlasting, and your word is true. You are the Resurrection and the Life, and the repose of your departed servants Bucky and Shirley. O Christ our God, and we send up glory to You, together with your eternal Father and your all-holy, good and life-giving Spirit, now and always and for ages upon ages. Amen.
