在竞选活动的最后几天，一首赞美诗一直回荡在我耳边，这首诗对我和我的家人，特别是对已故儿子博（Beau）都意义重大。诗中的信念支撑了我，我相信也支撑着这个国家。

And I hope it can provide some comfort and solace to the more than 230,000 families who have lost a loved one to this terrible virus this year. My heart goes out to each and every one of you. Hopefully this hymn gives you solace as well.

我希望它可以为今年因这种可怕的病毒而失去亲人的23万多个家庭提供安慰和慰藉。我的心和你们每一个人在一起。希望这首赞美诗也能给您带来安慰。

"And He will raise you up on eagle's wings,

Bear you on the breath of dawn,

Make you to shine like the sun,

And hold you in the palm of His Hand."

“他必使你如鹰展翅，

以黎明的气息背负你，

使你发光如日，

并将你捧在他的手掌。”

现在，我们一起在鹰的翅膀上着手进行上帝和历史呼吁我们去做的工作。

With full hearts and steady hands, with faith in America and in each other, with a love of country — and a thirst for justice — let us be the nation that we know we can be.
