                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Barry C. Black, offered the following prayer:
  Let us pray.
  Eternal God, we praise Your greatness, might, and majesty. You are 
all that is in Heaven and Earth. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and You 
are exalted above all. Both riches and honor come from You and in Your 
hands is power. Your compassion never fails.
  Bless our Senators as they strive to do Your will. Give them wisdom 
and courage for the living of these days. Bless the Members of this 
body who will be leaving us. May they find fulfillment in the knowledge 
that the full harvest of their labors is yet to come.
  Unite us in the common endeavor of making America a beacon of freedom 
for our world. May all we say and do in the days to come truly honor 
You. We pray in Your powerful Name. Amen.
