Give us our daily bread

Posted in Hymns and Music  by ministerandy on February 27th, 2008

We are studying through the Lord’s Prayer on Wednesday evenings and in study today I was reminded of an old hymn we used around our table growing up a few times. The words are by John Cennick and the tune is the doxology tune.

Be present at our table, Lord;
Be here and everywhere adored;
Thy creatures bless, and grant that we
May feast in paradise with Thee.

We thank Thee, Lord, for this our food,
For life and health and every good;
By Thine own hand may we be fed;
Give us each day our daily bread.

We thank Thee, Lord, for this our good,
But more because of Jesus’ blood;
Let manna to our souls be giv’n,
The Bread of Life sent down from Heav’n.

    Thanks, Andy! We said this prayer in my family regularly when I was little and we have used it in our family now, but nobody knew where it came from. We just knew it as the old Darsie family prayer. Now we know!
