                                 prayer

  The guest Chaplain, Rev. Kenneth Lyons, offered the following prayer:
  Our Father, Your name be exalted above every name. Welcome in the 
name of Your Son, Jesus. We thank You for Your infinite love. You have 
looked beyond our faults as a government and a people and allowed us to 
enjoy the blessing of freedom, spiritually and physically.
  Dear God, guide the minds of these Your ministers in the government 
of our country. Keep them ever mindful that they are instruments in 
Your service and for Your people, so that their lives may be peaceful 
in the world.
  Lord, keep these Senators of this body and their families under Your 
wing. Grant them courage and boldness in this period of the history of 
our Nation. Amen.
