                                 prayer

  The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
  Lord our God, shepherd us as Your own flock. Speak Your Word in the 
hearts of all the Senators and to all who work for the Senate Chamber. 
Make all in the Nation attentive to Your voice; that they may walk as 
Your free children along the right path, fearing no evil.
  On this new day, anoint us with Your Spirit, that only goodness and 
kindness flow from us. Having invited us to enjoy the banquet of equal 
justice, may we serve You all the days of our lives. Banish our foes 
into the darkness of confusion that great deeds of dignity may be 
accomplished in Your Name; and the nations may dwell in peace for years 
to come. Amen.
