Bless all who enter this Senate, that the work done within these walls may be worthy of Your greatness and Your love, and that all who seek Your presence here may find it. For the joy of community, the gift of diversity, and the vision of harmony, we offer our grateful thanks. May He whose spirit is with us in every righteous deed, be with all men and women who spend themselves for the good of humanity and bear the 2641 1994-02-01 Senate Journal Page 2642 burdens of others, who give bread to the hungry, clothe the naked, and take the friendless into their homes. May the work of their hands endure, and may the good seed they are sowing bring forth an abundant harvest. Bless our land and all its inhabitants. Bless our weather and even these foggy days. Prosper us in all our undertakings. Be with those whom we have chosen to lead us, that they may strive to establish justice and opportunity for all.
