Divine Creator, hear our prayer
Be present with us in our time of need
Divine in us your sovereign light,
that we may shine high like the lighthouse,
above the fierce approaching storms
May we as a nation and as individual Americans
cherish the freedom our birthright avows
That no man, no woman, no child,
whether stranger, or traveler or friend,
should ever suffer among us
the heavy burden of bigotry on this our native soil
Where there is prejudice, help us to rise and not fall
Where there is hatred, help us to forgive and show mercy
Where there is division, help us to build a lasting peace
And where there are failed hopes, we plead
that our spirit never be broken
Grant us O God the blessing,
that together, as many and as one, our better angels prevail
that our history, though replete with transgressions,
may shine ever brighter with each rising day
as we forge for our children, and for our children's children
a future of better tomorrows
Amen
