We thank you, loving Father,
For all your tender care,
For food, and clothes, and
shelter,
And all your world so fair.
For every cup and plateful,
May the Lord make us truly
grateful.
Bless us, O Lord, and these
Thy gifts which we are about
to receive from Thy bounty,
through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Bless this food to the nourishment
of our bodies, and our bodies
to
Thy service. For we ask
these
things in Thy name.
Amen.

Thank you for the world so sweet,
Thank you for the food we eat.
Thank you for the birds that
sing,
Thank you, God, for everything.
Amen.
May the salt on this table remind us of
the wisdom of our Baptism, O
Father.
May the bread on this table
remind us of
the sacrifice of the
altar. May the food
remind us of your Word
Incarnate.
Amen.
Father, we thank Thee for this food,
for health and strength and all
things good. May others
all these
blessings share, and hearts be
grateful everywhere.
Amen.
