Ovinu shebashomaim:
Our Father, who art in heaven,
Eternal Ruler of the universe,
with humility in our hearts
we pour forth our gratitude unto Thee
for the beneficence and loving kindness
which Thou hast bestowed upon Thy people.
Thou hast inspired men in the past
to look for new horizons, and,
discovering a land with inexhaustible material resources
and precious spiritual blessings—
a land now inhabited by people who,
though of diversified backgrounds,
are united by the bond of a common destiny—
to be of service to Thee
and to the United States of America
for spiritual triumphs of freedom and liberty
over the forces of evil and enslavement.

O merciful Father,
in whose hand are the souls of the living and the dead,
be with us, assembled in this great Chamber,
as we consecrate this hour
to the memory of a man of valor and vision,
of great courage and devotion,
whose deeds and action, here in the Senate
and in his own beloved home State, New Hampshire,
represented the highest ideals of noble living
and American citizenship.

Grant that the soul of the Honorable Styles Bridges,^[1] Henry Styles Bridges (September 9, 1898 – November 26, 1961) was an American teacher, editor, and Republican Party politician from Concord, New Hampshire. He served one term as the 63rd governor of New Hampshire before a twenty-four-year career in the United States Senate. 
whose memory we cherish,
may be bound up in the bond of everlasting life.
May the reminiscences of his life
stir our finer sensibilities
and arouse within us a desire
to emulate the splendid example set for us by Styles Bridges
as he served Thee and his fellow men
with such great sincerity, kindness, loyalty, and devotion,
in fulfilling the teaching of the ancient sages,
which is that the world exists on three basic principles:
Upon learning,
upon service to fellow men,
and upon the practice of benevolence.^[2] A secular, civic reading of the statement of Shimon haTsadiq in Mishnah Avot 1.2. 

O God,
who art manifested in the lives of good men
and in the righteousness of nations,
keep our Nation forever righteous and just.

Vouchsafe unto those who have been chosen to lead our Nation
wisdom equal to their strength
and courage equal to their great responsibilities—
to help make our land a mighty force of righteousness
among the nations of the world.
Amen.
