For this day of the dear Christ’s birth,
for its hours of home gladness and world gladness,
for the love within these walls, which binds us together as a family,
for our food on this table,
for our surroundings in a land of freedom,
we bring to Thee, our Father, our heartfelt gratitude.
Bless all these, Thy favours, to our good,
in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Our “Restaurant Grace”:

“Bless this food to our use, O Lord, and us to Thy loving service. In Christ’s name, Amen”.

[RnMomof7]

I always ask a special blessing on the hands that prepared the food God provided and the hands that serve it, also ask for God to bless the conversation at the meal

From Luther's Small Catechism, "Asking a Blessing":

The eyes of all look to You, O Lord, and You give them their food at the proper time. You open Your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing.

Lord God, heavenly Father, bless us and these Your gifts which we receive from Your bountiful goodness, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Bless this food you’ve provided for me,
delivery was late so I got it for free.

[Conan the Librarian]

Uncle Ralph’s Grace.

mmummble mummble mummble...mumble. Amen.

Uncle Ralph was a wonderful, Godly man, but, he had a hearing problem and didn’t speak clearly.

How bout the Johnny Appleseed song?

[mikrofon]

Good drink,
Good meat,
Good Lord,
Let’s eat.

[Doomonyou]

I remember one we said at Bible camp many moons ago:

Rub-a-Dub, Dub,

Thanks for the Grub,

Yea, God!

[MsLady]

Thank you God for this food we are about to receive and bless it to our bodies. In Jesus Holy name, Amen.

[LaineyDee]

Come Lord Jesus, be our guest...
And let thy gifts to us be blessed...
Let this food be a nourishment and blessing to our bodies...

Amen!

[LurkedLongEnough]

Dear God, thank you for the blessings you’ve heaped upon us: health, shelter, food and love, Amen.

[Charles Henrickson]

I use this Swedish table prayer sometimes:

I Jesu namn till bords vi gå
Välsigna Gud den mat vi få
Gud till ära, oss till gagn
Så få vi mat i Jesu namn.

(In Jesus' name to the table we go
God bless the food we receive
To God the honor, us the gain
So we have food in Jesus' name.)

[day10]

Pass the bread,
Pass the meat,
Thank you, Lord,
now let’s eat!!

[Charles Henrickson]

Oh, give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good,
and his mercy endureth forever.

When I was young I went to a non demominatational grammar school. When it was the Latin Master´s turn to oversea the the school lunch he always said:

Benedictus, Benedicat per Dominum Nostrum Jesum Christum - Amen

[Jemian]

Father,

Bless this food to the nurishment of our bodies
As we give our bodies in your service.

In Christ’s Name,
Amen

I may not always say these exact words but the meaning never varies.

[The Comedian]

As we feast on the plenty supplied by the One True God,

May our enemies feast on the flesh of their dead.
