Our table now with food is spread;
O God, who givest daily bread,
Bless these Thy gifts unto us so
That strength of body they bestow.
O feed the hungry, God of love,
Who sigh for bread to Heaven above;
Give to each land prosperity,
And bless the earth, the sky, the sea!
O may this day for Thee be spent,
And give us all a mind content;
O grant our souls the heavenly food
Which Jesus purchased with His blood.
Thomas Kingo (1634 - 1703)
