Thanks be to God for the food on the table;

Thank you, our daily cry.

Food for today and with more for tomorrow,

All of our needs supplied.

Crops from the field, fruit from the tree,

Vegetables from the ground;

Food from the earth, fish from the sea,

Plenty to go around.

Thanks be to God for all we enjoy

All that is on our plate;

Enough for today and with more for tomorrow,

Harvest we celebrate.

Beautiful world, gift to us all,

Teach us, O Lord, to care;

Plentiful world, enough for us all,

Teach us, O Lord, to share.

Thanks be to God for this world where we live,

Thank you for time and place;

Thank you for life and each day that you give,

Thank you for boundless grace.

Peter Reiss (1962- ), Tune; ‘Skye boat song’
