God of goodness, bless our food
Keep us in a pleasant mood
Bless the cook and all who serve us
From indigestion, Lord, preserve us
From an American place mat
Come Lord Jesus, be our guest
And may our meal by you be blessed. Amen.

Lord, bless this food upon these dishes,
As thou didst bless the loaves and fishes,
And like the sugar in the tea
May all of us be stirred by Thee

Lord, your praise, we all exude;
Now in us your love imbued,
As we come, to eat our food.
So from us our sins exclude,
And we pray, your grace include.
