Great God,
We raise our voices in praise to you for all the blessings you give.
The fields yield grain and the gardens bring forth fruit
in response to the sun and rain and work of human hands.
Thank you.
Please bless this food we are about to eat.

Amen.

O God,
Everyone knows your name. May we always say it
with reverence and respect, not when we are
angry or surprised, for you deserve to be honored.
We honor you now for your goodness to us,
and we thank you for this food.
Amen.
