"May a spirit of solemnity rest upon all who enter herein. Open to their
vision a glimpse of Thy great and everlasting designs. Bless all who shall
preside and serve in this
house, now and in the years to come. Give them strength
according to their need. Give them faith to accomplish Thy work. Give them
that love which is the essence of the gospel of Christ. Bless Thy work
in all the earth. Look down upon Thy people everywhere, and open the windows
of heaven and shower blessings upon the faithful. We remember before Thee
the needy and distressed. May we reach out to
help and sustain them wherever they may be."
