                                 prayer

  The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
  The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our strength.--
Psalm 46:7.
  O God, who is our strength, we begin the work of this day as servants 
of our Nation's people and stewards of democracy. We pray Thy blessings 
of courage and wisdom for the Members of the Senate, its officers and 
staff. So guide them in the work of this day, that our liberties may be 
preserved, the wellbeing of all our people advanced, and that in all 
things, You, O God, the author of liberty, may be glorified. Amen.
