A Table Grace

I was approached by the Minister of Music, Emery Dewitt, at the Lancaster Church of the Brethren about writing a blessing that fits to the hymn tune LIEBSTER JESU, WIR SIND HIER. He wanted a table grace that the church could use for church dinners. I agreed to write the blessing.

A midi file of the music is playing in the background. The melody was written by Johann R. Ahle in 1664. The harmony was written by Johann Sebastion Bach. The quality of the music depends on your sound card in your computer.

Bless this table

Bless this table, Lord, we pray,
As we share with one another.

We will share the best this day,
With a sister or a brother.

Sharing gifts is your good pleasure;
Thanks for bounty beyond measure. Amen
