  The guest Chaplain, Rear Admiral Barry C. Black, U.S. Navy Chief 
Chaplain, offered the following prayer:
  O God of light and truth, enter and abide with these leaders today, 
as they do the work of freedom. Give them Your wisdom, so that they 
will be instruments of Your peace.
  Lord, thank You for this great land, and for our freedom, which is 
neither derived from, nor conferred by a state, but comes from You. May 
the liberty You bring keep our feet in right paths.
  Eternal Lord God, today and always give us wisdom to perceive You, 
intelligence to understand You, diligence to seek You, patience to wait 
on You, eyes to see You, a heart to meditate on You, and a life to 
proclaim You. In Your strong Name we pray. Amen.
