Opening Prayer Given by the Guest Chaplain:

O Lord our Governor, whose glory is in all the world, we commend this Nation to Your merciful care that, being guided by Your providence, we may dwell secure in Your peace.

Grant to the Members of this House, and to all in authority, wisdom and strength to know Your will.

Fill them with the love of truth and righteousness and make them ever mindful of their calling to serve this people in Your fear.

Where we have failed You, we ask You to be merciful and grant us the grace to turn to paths of righteousness for Your name's sake.

Lord, keep this Nation under Your care and guide us in the way of justice and truth, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end.

Amen.
