Today you continue one of America’s best traditions and set a good standard for the generations who are watching you today and following you in the future.<\/p>\n

Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.<\/em>
\nServe the Lord with jubilation;<\/em>
\nCome before Him with rejoicing.<\/em>
\nKnow that the Lord Himself is God;<\/em>
\nIt is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;<\/em>
\nWe are His people and the sheep of His pasture.<\/em><\/p>\n

Enter His gates with thanksgiving,<\/em>
\nAnd His courtyards with praise.<\/em>
\nGive thanks to Him, bless His name.<\/em>
\nFor the Lord is good;<\/em>
\nHis mercy is everlasting<\/em>
\nAnd His faithfulness is to all generations.<\/em>
