O Thou kind Lord! This
gathering is turning to Thee. These hearts are radiant with
Thy love. These minds and spirits are exhilarated by the
message of Thy glad-tidings. O God! Let this American
democracy become glorious in spiritual degrees even as it has
aspired to material degrees, and render this just government
victorious. Confirm this revered nation to upraise the
standard of the oneness of humanity, to promulgate the Most
Great Peace, to become thereby most glorious and praiseworthy
among all the nations of the world. O God! This American
nation is worthy of Thy favors and is deserving of Thy mercy.
Make it precious and near to Thee through Thy bounty and
bestowal.
