Lord God of Heaven,
who has so lavishly blessed this land, make us, thy people,
to be humble. Keep us ever aware that the good
things we enjoy have come from thee, that hour didst lend them to
us.
Impress upon our
smugness the knowledge that we are not owners, but stewards.
Remind us, lest we become filled with conceit, that one day a reckoning
will be required of us.
Sanctify our love
of country, that our boasting may be turned to humility and our pride
into a ministry to people everywhere. Help us to make this
God's own country, by living like God's own people.
Amen.
By Peter Marshall

 The
Lord's Prayer
Our Father which art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy Name
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Forgive us our debts
As we forgive our debtors
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For Thine is the kingdom
And the power, and the glory forever.
Amen

Don't
Forget To -- PRAY FOR
AMERICA
While the storm clouds
gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free,
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer.
|: God bless America, land that I
love
Stand beside her and guide her
Through the night with the light from above
From the mountains
To the prairies,
To the ocean white with foam
God bless America,
My home sweet home.
--Irving Berlin, 1918; revised
1938
