                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, help us ever to see eternity beyond time. As our 
Senators labor, may they do so with an eternal perspective. Remind them 
that they are serving You as well as country, preparing themselves for 
the higher joy of service in the world to come.
  In this season of hope, remind us of Your breakthrough into time to 
give us eternal life. Help us to seek and count life's blessings so 
that our lives may flow in ceaseless praise. Lord, thank You for Your 
promise to be with us always, to the end of the world and beyond.
  We pray in Your mighty Name. Amen.
