But we rejoice and sing to thee
Our hymn of joy eternally.
Prayers before Meat.
The eyes of all wait upon Thee, O Lord: Thou givest them their meat in due season, Thou openest Thy liberal hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing. Amen.
Come, Lord Jesus, be Thou our guest,
And let all Thou giv’st us be blest. Amen.
We thank Thee, dear Son, that Thou hast again opened Thy bountiful hand to supply our wants; grant that we may receive this food with thanksgiving and gratitude and in Thy fear, and grant, O Lord! that whatsoever we do, whether we eat or drink, all may be done to Thy name’s honor and glory, through Jesus Christ, our Saviour. Amen.
