                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  For the beauty of the Earth, for the glory of the skies, for the love 
which, from our birth over and around us lies, Lord of all, to You we 
raise this, our prayer of grateful praise.
  We thank You for Your loving providence that sustains us each day. 
Thank You, also, for the liberty that provides the foundation for our 
Nation.
  Bless our Senators today. May they remember to trust You for guidance 
and to believe that You will order their steps. Make their lives a 
source of wisdom, deep as the ocean and fresh as a flowing stream.
  We pray this in Your strong name. Amen.
