                                 prayer

  The guest Chaplain offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Father of all and Creator of the whole world, fill our Nation with 
Your peace and Your blessings, Your splendor of virtues and surpassing 
gifts.
  By Your direction, the heavens are in motion. Day and night fulfill 
the course You have set. The Sun, the Moon, and the choir of stars 
revolve in harmony at Your command on their appointed paths. By Your 
will, the Earth blossoms in full seasons--spring, summer, autumn and 
winter--following one another all in proper order.
  Guide the Members of the Senate today and all the workings of our 
Government, that the harmony of nature may pattern American life and a 
new order be established in the community of nations.
  This we ask in Your holy name. Amen.
