                        House of Representatives

Friday, January 5, 2007
  The House met at 9:30 a.m.
  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  ``Like the eyes of a servant
  on the hand of her mistress
  so our eyes are on the Lord our God.
  till He shows us His mercy.''
  Lord, giver of all good gifts, You know as an institution the House 
of Representatives is served by many staffers and workers. As the 110th 
Congress begins its work, bless all who labor here on Capitol Hill. 
From police to parliamentarian to painter, recording clerk to reporter, 
both physician and political adviser, all are a blessing to the Members 
who are here to serve You and Your people by governance.
  Assist them in their daily tasks, for all contribute to the common 
undertaking and serve this country. Be present to them in the midst of 
routine and show them Your mercy, both now and forever. Amen.
