PRAYER FOR OUR NATION
God of liberty,
For the freedom of our land
For the rights we possess,
For the security of our laws,
We praise You and thank You.
Give guidance to our leaders
Watch over those
Who serve their country,
Raise up the poor,
And exalt the humble.
Make our nation great and strong,
Renowned in wisdom,
Prosperous in virtue,
And renewed in faith.
Amen.
