Our Father, our King,
receive our prayer in mercy
and in favor.

We approach Thee in humility
and with gratitude
that by Thy grace
we are fortunate to live
in these blessed United States of America.

Thou grantest unto us great men
who are Thy messengers
to free us from spiritual and physical slavery,
to lead us to a world in which man will live
a meaningful and harmonious life.

Our thanksgiving, therefore, we offer unto Thee,
for bestowing upon this great land
legislators and statesmen
who guide the destiny and stir the hearts
of all inhabitants
to serve their country in truth and loyalty.
May Thy spirit dwell richly within them
as they manifest abiding courage and sincere faith
in the cherished traditions of our Founding Fathers,
to work for justice and peace.
Grant them loving kindness and patience,
understanding and foresight,
that they ever be warmed by Thy love
and nurtured by Thy teachings
to faithfully seek Thy guidance
in pursuing the welfare and advancement,
growth and security of our country.

Gracious Guardian,
protect and bless
our distinguished President,
his family,
and all the people of this great democracy,
that freedom and tolerance increase,
peace and prosperity endure
throughout the length and breadth of our borders.

Send Thy light and Thy truth
unto all the peoples of the earth,
so that the ideals
of freedom and fraternity,
of justice and equality
forever be the heritage of all.

Hasten, Thou,
the era of universal peace,
when all the families of the earth
shall be blessed.
Amen.
