            Almighty God, Who has given us this good land for our
heritage; We humbly beseech Thee that we may always prove
ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do Thy will. 
Bless our land with honorable ministry, sound learning, and pure
manners.
            Save us from violence, discord, and confusion, from pride
and arrogance, and from every evil way.  Defend our liberties, and
fashion into one united people the multitude brought hither out of
many kindreds and tongues.
            Endow with Thy spirit of wisdom those to whom in Thy
Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be
justice and peace at home, and that through obedience to They law,
we may show forth Thy praise among the nations of the earth.
            In time of prosperity fill our hearts with thankfulness, and
in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in Thee to fail; all of
which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. 
                        Thomas Jefferson, March 4, 1805.
