Be present at our table, Lord; Be here and everywhere adored. These mercies bless, and grant that we May feast in fellowship with thee. Bless, O Lord, your gifts to our use and us to your service; for Christ's sake. God is great, and God is good, And we thank him for our food; By his hand we all are fed; Give us, Lord, our daily bread. For health and strength and daily food, We praise thy name, O Lord. God, we thank you for this food. For rest and home and all things good. For wind and rain and sun above. But most of all for those we love. Give us grateful hearts, our Father, for all your mercies, and make us mindful of the needs of others; through Christ our Lord. Dear Lord, thank you for this gift of food You've placed upon our table. And help us all to do your work In any way we're able. Lord, make us truly grateful for the blessings of this day. We thank you, Father, for this food And pray you'll bless it to our good; Help us live your name to praise In all we do through all our days. This food, which you have already blessed in the giving, so further bless in our partaking. We thank thee, God, for milk and bread And all our daily food; These gifts remind us day by day, Our Father, thou art good. Almighty God, you open your hand, and we are fed.

We thank thee, Father, for thy care And for thy bounty everywhere; For this and every other gift, Our grateful hearts to thee we lift.
