                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Margaret Grun Kibben, offered the 
following prayer:
  Holy, holy, holy Lord, fill the Earth with the knowledge of Your 
glory. As the waters cover the sea, the stars inhabit the celestial 
heavens, the birds fill the air with their song, the majesty of the 
animals roam the forest and plains, so may Your sovereign presence 
reign in our lives, in this place, and in our Nation.
  Lift up our eyes to the hills that we may discover from whence our 
help does come. You who made Heaven and Earth, speak Your creative word 
into our discourse, Your compassion into our engagements with one 
another.
  Lord, You are our keeper, You watch over us so that the harshness of 
the day will not overtake us, the dark of the night will not overwhelm 
us.
  Keep us, then, from all harm. Guard our comings and goings within 
Your eternal grace plan that we may live to sing of Your praises and 
accomplish the work You set before us.
  In Your merciful name we pray and by Your grace we live.
  Amen.
