                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  I waited, I waited for You, Lord, and You stooped down to me.
  You heard my cry and drew me from the deadly pit from this miry clay.
  You set my feet upon solid rock and helped me make my first steps 
into the light of a new day.
  You put a new song into my mouth and from the depths, O Lord God, I 
offer You praise.
  Amen.
