PRAYERS FOR OUR COUNTRY
It is felt fitting that on Independence
Day we turn our thoughts to some of the
principles upon which our Nation was
founded# One of these principles was the
Freedom of Religion# To focus attention
upon that principle and of our obligat
ion* to our haritage of the past, :two
prayers for our country are bein& quoted#
WASHINGTON !S PRATER FOR THE NATION
Almighty God,we make our earnest prayer
that Thou wilt keep the United States in
Thy holy protection, that Thou wilt inc
line the hearts of the cife&zaKSfcocoult—
ivate a spirit of subordination and ob
edience to government, and entertain a
brotherly affection and love for cne An
other and for their fellow citizens of
the United States at large.
And finally that Thou wilt most grac
iously be pleased to dispose us all to
do justice^ to love mercy, and to demean
ourselves with that-charity, humility,
and pacific temper of mind which were
the characteristics cf • the Devine Author
of our blessed religion, and without an
humble imitation of whose example in
these things, we can never hope to be
a happy nation.
Grant our supplications, we beseech
Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord,
Amen.
PRAYER FOR OUR NATION
(From the Array-Navy Hymnal)
Almighty God, Who has given us this
good land for our haritage, we humbly
beseech Thee that we may always prove
ourselves a people mindful of Thy
favor and glad to do Thy will, Bless
our land with honorable industry,
sound learning, and pure mannerscSave
us from violence, discord, and confu
sion; from pride and arrogancy and
from every evil way. Defend our lib- |
erties and fashion into one united
people the multitudes brought hither
out of many kindreds and tongues,
Endue with the spirit of wisdom those
to whom in Thy Name we entrust the
authority of government, that there
may be justice and peace at home, and
that through obedience to Thy law, we
may show forth Thy praise among the
nations of the earth.
In the time of prosperity fill our
hearts with thankfulness, and in the
day of trouble suffer not our trust
in Thee to fail.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord«Amen,
T
