Dumb Relay Question

Folks:

I'm new to working with relays and would appreciate a little advice. I am working on a tube preamp that uses two transformers; one provides power to the remote control system and the other powers the tubes. The remote control system has a power relay header which will allow me to turn the "tube" transformer on and off using the remote control. The remote control header provides 6 VDC -- enough power to trigger the relay's coil (an OMRON G2R-2-S-DC6(S)). Here's my question: the coil resistance is 68 ohms. Should I add additional resistance to this small circuit, or can the circuit simply go from the remote control header to the relay coil and then to ground?

Any advice would be appreciated!

Regards,
Scott
