The New English Hymnal ‎#287

287. Glory, love and praise and honour

1 Glory, love and praise and honour
For our food, now bestowed,
Render we the Donor.
Bounteous God, we now confess thee;
God who thus, blessest us,
Meet it is to bless thee.

2 Thankful for our every blessing,
Let us sing Christ the Spring,
Never, never ceasing.
Source of all our gifts and graces,
Christ we own; Christ alone
Calls for all our praises.

3 He dispels our sin and sadness,
Life imparts, cheers our hearts,
Fills with food and gladness.
Who himself for all has given,
Us he feeds, us he leads
To a feast in heaven.
