Lord, we are gathered here
With those we hold dear,
To give thanks and praise
For the bounty given us this day.
These blessings we recognize
are a feast for the eyes,
Thank you lord for all we see,
We ask for comfort
for the less fortunate please.
Let us join together for this repast
And pray that it not be our last.
May we come together here
To praise God and give thanks
this time next year.
Bless this food to our bodies,
and forgive us our toddies.
Keep us safe as we go home,
and from the flock, far, not to roam.
Hold us close in your grace
and bestow neverending love on this place.
Restore those who are missing and dry our tear.
Know only that love is spoken here.
Amen
