                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Let us pray using the words of David C. Roberts: God of our fathers, 
whose almighty hand leads forth in beauty all the starry band of 
shining worlds in splendor through the skies; our grateful songs before 
Your throne arise.
  Refresh Your people on their toilsome way; lead us from night to 
never ending day; fill all our lives with heav'n-born love and grace 
until at last we meet before Your face. Amen.
