                                 prayer

  The guest Chaplain, Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the 
following prayer:
  God ever faithful and lasting in love, Your word speaks wisdom to our 
minds and brings peace to our hearts. Be with us this evening.
  Grant perseverance to the Members of the Senate as they endeavor to 
bring their work to completion. By Your holy inspiration, You have 
begun this good work in them. Through Your spirit, You continue to 
guide them; and by Your grace You will bring this work to fulfillment.
  Our hope and our prayer is that in all things Your holy will may be 
accomplished and all honor, glory, and power be given to You now and 
forever. Amen.
