As they face the crisis which shall deter

United States we implore Thee, O God, to
turn their hearts and minds toward the larger
hopes and aspirations which are common to
us all, and which proclaim us brothers.
Through Thy great Providence over-rule

May they use every God-given power to
fight against the elements that destroy the
joy and happiness which are the heritage of
all Thy children.

in the hearts and lives Of the men of all
