Senate Chaplain Barry Black gave a benediction at a ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda where the body of former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is lying in state on Jan. 12.
“God, be with us until we meet again with Harry Reid. in that land beyond sun moon and stars, where the days know neither dawn nor darkness,” Black read.
“We leave him to your care as we remember that not even death can separate us from your love.” The ceremony was attended by lawmakers and Reid’s former colleagues, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi spoke.
