Prayer offered by the chaplain, Rev. Edward G. Latch on July 3, 1974

in the U.S. House of Representatives

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord (Psalms 33:12).

Eternal God, stir thou our minds and stimulate our hearts with a high sense of patriotism as we

approach the Fourth of July. May all that this day symbolizes renew our faith in freedom, our devotion to

democracy, and redouble our efforts to keep a government of the people, by the people, and for the people

truly alive in our world.

Grant that we may highly resolve on this great day to dedicate ourselves anew to the task of ushering in

an era when good will shall live in the hearts of a free people, justice shall be the light to guide their feet,

and peace shall be the goal of humankind: to the glory of thy holy name and the good of our nation and of

all mankind. Amen.”
