Deliberations were opened with prayer by the Chaplain of the House of Representatives, the Rev. Dr. Alton C. Clark as follows:
We bow in Your presence, Lord, in the sure confidence that You hold us firm in the grasp of a love that will not let go. Our assurance comes not from our grasp on You, but from Your hold on us. No matter how crowded the hours of this day, how perplexing our problems or how vexing our duties, keep us close to You. In our work, keep us wise and strong. In our contacts with colleagues, keep us considerate and kind. In our dealings with ourselves, keep us honest and steadfast.
And when evening comes, give us the joy that has earned Your divine approval: "Well done, good and faithful servant".
Thank You, Lord Jesus, for this privilege of prayer. Amen.
