from Transcript posted at C-Span dot-org (5/31/2015, afternoon):

LET US PRAY. O GOD, OUR ROCK AND OUR FORTRESS, THANK YOU FOR GUIDING OUR

THE CHAPLAIN LIVES. WITHOUT THE UNFOLDING OF YOUR LOVING PROVIDENCE, WE WOULD MISS LIFE'S MUSIC. LORD, YOU HAVE SET OUR FEET ON SOLID GROUND AND DELIVERED US FROM OUR ENEMIES. YOU HAVE KEPT US FROM SORROW AND SIGHING, FOR WE TRUST YOU EVEN IN LIFE'S STORMS. EMPOWER OUR LAWMAKERS TO BE INSTRUMENTS OF YOUR WILL. REMIND THEM THAT THEIR TIMES ARE IN YOUR HANDS, AS YOU SAVE THEM IN YOUR STEADFAST LOVE. GIVE THEM SERENITY TO ACCEPT WHAT THEY CANNOT CHANGE AND COURAGE TO CHANGE WHAT THEY CAN. WE PRAY IN YOUR HOLY NAME. AMEN. http://www.c-span.org/video/?326227-1/us-senate-debate-nsa-surveillance
