A PRAYER BY GEORGE WASHINGTON
Almighty God: We make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in Thy holy protection; that thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government, and entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow-citizens of the United States at large. And finally that Thou wilt most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion without a humble imitation of whose example in these things we can never hope to be a happy nation. Grant our supplication, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
* This prayer is used regularly at “The President's Chapel” of the George Washington University, and voices the aspirations of the University for the fulfillment of civic duties and the promotion of national welfare.
Presented to The Daughters of The American Revolution by The George Washington University as a token of its appreciation of the use of Memorial Continental Hall on October 30, 1919, for the Special Convocation at which the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred upon His Majesty, Albert, the King of the Belgians.
