Hymns for Celebration ‎#22

22. 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 hath given
Us he feeds,
Us he leads
To a feast in heaven.
