Bless
us Lord with restful sleep that heals us till we wake,
Bless
us Lord with industry, a better world to make.
Bless
us Lord with wit and charm, the doubtful mind to turn,
Bless
our curiosity, for wisdom let us yearn.
Bless
us with prosperity, with well-earned fruitful gain,
Bless
our acts of charity, the needful to sustain.
Grant
to us discretion, Lord, to which our deeds consigned,
We
judge not selves or others, but act with thoughtful mind.
Grant
to all, their lives to live according to their lights, and
Bless O
Lord our loved one’s lives and all their days and nights.
Bless
wayfaring strangers Lord and absent friends this day
See
them safely to our hearts and bid them there to stay.
Bless
today this gathering which gives our spirits lift,
And
bless this food before us Lord, thy bounty’s gracious gift.
Amen
