Mealtime Blessings

Traditional Christian Mealtime Prayers

By Mary Fairchild, About.com


Bless us, Oh Lord

Bless us, Oh Lord,
and these thy gifts which
we are about to receive from thy bounty,
through Christ, Our Lord.
Amen.

--Traditional


We Give Our Thanks

For food that stays our hunger,
For rest that brings us ease,
For homes where memories linger,
We give our thanks for these.

--Traditional


Truly Thankful

Lord, make us truly thankful for
these and all other blessings.
I ask this in Jesus Christ's name,
Amen.

--Traditional
