Bountiful Giver of every good and perfect gift! Thou art never weary of supplying our returning wants—Grant, we pray Thee, that the food, of which we are about to partake, may contribute to the comfort and support of our bodies,—and enable us to engage with more zeal in thy service; which we ask for Jesus Christ’s sake. Amen.
