Thank you for the blessings that you give to us each day;
For friends and family we hold dear, for all you send our way.
We ask that you will guide us all, in everything we do,
And pray we never will forget these blessings came from you.
Amen.
Praise to God who giveth meat
Convenient unto all who eat
Praise for tea and buttered toast
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Scottish Grace
"Learn the lesson of thanksgiving. It is due to God, it is due to ourselves. Thanksgiving for the past makes us trustful in the present and hopeful for the future. What He has done is the pledge of what He will do.
A.C. Hall
Here's to the blessings of the year,
Here's to the friends we hold so dear,
To peace on earth...
Both far and near.
We thank you, Lord, for all you give;
For what we eat and where we live;
And to our loved ones far away,
Please send your blessings, Lord, we pray.
And help us all to live our days
With thankful hearts and loving ways.
Amen.
The Beatitudes
Blessed are the poor in spirit:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they that mourn:
for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek:
for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are they which do hunger
and thirst after righteousness:
for they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful:
for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart:
for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers:
for they shall be called the children of God.
Blessed are they which are persecuted
for righteousness' sake:
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye when men shall revile you,
and persecute you, and shall say
all manner of evil against you falsely,
for my sake.
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad:
for great is your reward in heaven:
for so prosecuted they the prophets
which were before you.
Matthew 5:3-12
