Liturgist: The Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land. Thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
People: Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he is our help and our shield.
Liturgist: Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
People: Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any people. Amen.
*Opening Prayer
Almighty God, you rule all the peoples of the earth. Inspire the minds of all women and men to whom you have committed the responsibility of government and leadership in the nations of the world. Give to them the vision of truth and justice, that by their counsel all nations and peoples may work together. Give to the people of our country zeal for justice and strength of forbearance, that we may use our liberty in accordance with your gracious will. Forgive our shortcomings as a nation; purify our hearts to see and love the truth. We pray all these things through Jesus Christ. Amen. (ANDY LANGFORD, U.S.A., 20TH CENT.)
