Heavenly Father, we pray You
To cradle our nation in Your arms
As You did in its infancy.

Only by living in the spirit of Your laws
Can we reach true liberty and maturity.
Guide and foster leaders
Of integrity and righteousness
With the vision and courage
Of our forefathers.
We pray You
To till the soil of our nation
With true ecumenism and renewal
That all men will find
The freedom and happiness
That exists only through Your grace.

Amen.
