Grace after Meat.

MOst Glorious Lord God, we bless and praise thy Holy Name for all the Mercies which thou hast been pleased to bestow upon us, especially for feeding our weak and frail Bodies at this time with thy good Creatures. Lord teach us so to make use of thy Mercies, that they may be to the Eternal Comfort and Salvation of our Souls, through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.

Amen.
