                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord God, our Savior and source of our peace, be with Your beloved 
community as it mourns the loss of Coretta Scott King.
  Many Members of Congress have joined her family and her friends from 
around the world gathered today in Atlanta, Georgia. Today we join them 
as they gather to praise Your holy name and thank You for this 
custodian of civil rights, witness of courage, and gracious leader. 
Grant to all Your people consolation and peace.
  Lord, reward now all her efforts to give voice to those who suffer 
from poverty or injustice anywhere on Earth. Bless her efforts to 
breathe forth into the soul of this Nation equal justice under the law 
and peaceful harmony among diverse peoples.
  Lord, grant Your servant eternal peace as she is greeted by her 
husband, Dr. Martin Luther King, and enters into Your presence forever 
more. Amen.
