We place upon your table Lord, the food of life, the bread and wine, As symbols of our daily work according to your grand design. Within these simple things there lie the height and depth of human life: Our pain and tears, our thoughts and toils, our hopes and fears, our joy and strife. Accept them Lord they come from you; we take them humbly from your hands. These gifts of yours for higher use we offer up as you command.
Our Father in heaven, Holy be your name Your kingdom come, Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread, Forgive us our sins As we forgive those Who sins against us. Do not bring us to the test But deliver us from evil. Amen.
Let all the things now living a song of thanksgiving To God our creator triumphantly raises; Who fashioned and made us, Protected and stayed us, By guiding us on the end of our days. God's banners are o'er us, Pure light goes before us, A pillar of light shining forth in the night; Till shadows have vanished, All fearfulness vanished as forward we travel from light to light.
II. By law God enforces, the stars in their courses, The sun in its orbit obediently shines; The hills and the mountains, The rivers and fountains, The depths of the ocean proclaim God divine. We, too, should be voicing Our love and rejoicing With glad adoration, a song let us raise; Till all things are living Unite in thanksgiving, To God in the highest, Hosanna and praise
