Beloved, it has become a tradition with us here to pray President George Washington's Prayer for the United States on commemorating his birthday or Presidents' Day.
Let us pray George Washington's Prayer for the United States:

"Almighty God, we make our earnest prayer

that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy

holy protection; that Thou wilt incline the

hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit

of subordination and obedience to government,

and entertain a brotherly affection and love

for one another and for their fellow citizens

of the United States at large. And finally

that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to

dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy,

and demean ourselves with that charity, humility

and pacific temper of mind which were the

characteristics of the Divine Author of our

blessed religion, without a humble imitation

of whose example in these things we can

never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our

supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ,

our Lord. Amen."

The PRESIDENT called for Petitions, Memorials, Presentments of Grand Juries and such like papers.
