A Civic Service — For the Borough (3)
Almighty God, who hast ordained that men shall dwell together for their good in the life of a community: We pray thy blessing upon all who are citizens of this borough. Give thy grace to those who occupy positions of authority, that they may fulfill their responsibilities with wisdom and equity and in the fear of God. Grant that true faith, honest dealing, and mutual service may be the standard of our common life; and make us strong to meet every challenge which the coming days may bring; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
