Almighty God, you have given us this good land for our heritage. We
humbly ask You that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of
Your favor - and glad to do your will.
Bless our land with honorable endeavor, sound learning, and good
manners. Save us from violence, discord and confusion, from pride and
arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties and fashion
into one united people, the multitudes brought here out of many nations
and tongues. Endow with the Spirit of wisdom, those to whom in your
name, we entrust the authority of our government, the economy of our
nation. That there may be justice and peace at home and that through
obedience to Your law we may show forth Your praise among the nations of
this earth.
In times of prosperity fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the
days of our troubles do not allow our trust in you to fail.
Amen
