Almighty God,
ruler of all the peoples of the earth,
forgive, we prayer,
our shortcomings as a nation;
purify our hearts to see and love truth;
give wisdom to our counselors
and steadfastness to our people;
and bring us at last
to the fair city of peace,
whose foundations are mercy,
justice and goodwill,
and whose builder and maker you are.
(Woodrow Wilson)
