Make us always remember your generosity and constantly do your will.
Bless our land with honest industry, sound learning, and an honorable way of life.
Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogance,
and from every evil way.
Make us who come from many nations with many different languages a united people.
Defend our liberties and give those whom we have entrusted with the authority of
government the spirit of wisdom, that there may be justice and peace in our land.
When times are prosperous, let our hearts be thankful; and, in troubled times, do not
let our trust in you fail.
We ask all this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
