From the Pastor:

 

COME, LORD JESUS, BE OUR GUEST. LET ALL THESE GIFTS TO US BE BLEST. 

 

These are the words of a very common table prayer, prayed at many tables at Breakfast, Lunch, and/or at Dinner time.  Consider this prayer with a few added words:

COME, LORD JESUS, AND BE OUR GUEST -- OUR MORNING JOY AND OUR EVENING REST. NOW TO US MAY ALL THESE GIFTS OF YOURS BE BLESSED, THAT WE WITH THANKFUL HEARTS MAY YOUR LOVE CONFESS.

 

I'm not sure from where those additional words come. But they remind me of those words from Martin Luther's morning and evening prayers.

 

In the morning: I THANK YOU, MY HEAVENLY FATHER, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, YOUR DEAR SON, THAT YOU HAVE KEPT ME THIS NIGHT...

 

And at evening: I THANK YOU, MY HEAVENLY FATHER, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST, YOUR DEAR SON, THAT YOU HAVE KEPT THIS DAY...

 

Always giving thanks, for nourishment on the table and for the protection during the day and night. What a way to start and finish the day with a lot of thankfulness in between.

 

PEACE AND BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOURS.
