         HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES--Wednesday, February 10, 1999

  The House met at 10 a.m.
  The Chaplain, Reverend James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  Let us pray using the words of Isaac Watts:

O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.
Before the hills in order stood
Or earth received its frame,
From everlasting you are God,
To endless years the same.
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Still be our guard while troubles last
And our eternal home! Amen.
