Memorial Day Prayer

Holy and mighty Lord, who has given us this good land for our inheritance, we ask that

We may always prove ourselves a people, mindful of your favor and glad to do your will.

Bless our nation with honorable industry and sound learning. Save us from violence,

Discord and confusion, from pride and arrogance and from every evil.

Defend our liberties and make into one united people the many brought here out of

Many nations and tongues.

We remember especially those who have made the Supreme sacrifice, defending freedom and justice, and those now serving in our Armed forces.

We also remember the generations that have gone before, especially

Those who built this country and have now gone to their eternal resting place.

Fill with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in your name we entrust the authority of Government, that there may be justice and peace at home and that through law we may

Show forth your praise among the nations of the earth. In time of prosperity fill our hearts

With thankfulness, and in the day of trouble do not allow our trust in you to fail.

All of which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord,

Amen.

Now to him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you without

Blemish before the presence of his glory with rejoicing, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and Authority, before all time and now and forever.

Amen
