                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  O God, our refuge and our strength, a very present help in trouble, 
we will not fear! In the midst of these perilous times, we hear Your 
voice saying, ``Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted 
among the Nations, I will be exalted in the earth.'' In response we 
affirm, ``The Lord of hosts is with us; You are our help and hope.''
  From the Continental Congress through the formation of our 
Constitution to the establishment of the first Senate, our leaders have 
acknowledged You as Sovereign of this land and the source of all our 
blessings.
  Lord I thank You for the privilege of serving as Chaplain of the men 
and women of this Senate. As You have called them to lead our Nation 
and the world, You have opened their minds and hearts to receive Your 
guidance and care. It is with profound gratitude that I reflect on 
these years with them. You are our Lord and Saviour. Amen.
