God bless our country! May faith be multiplied in the land! Preserve our nation at this juncture. Guide, we pray, the deliberations of all leaders. May peace be preserved, and at the same time may the great purposes of God with regard to the spread of liberty and of the gospel be subserved by every decree of the council.
O God, we beseech you, ease the world of the sway of every evil principle. Let the day come, when all classes of men shall study the interest of others as well as their own, when the various nations shall yield to the one scepter of Christ and, like kindred tribes, shall melt into one. Yes, hasten his coming and his reign when the shout shall go up to heaven, that the “Lord God omnipotent reigns.”
