Dear lord, for food, drink and peace
and all that makes a day so fair
For the evenings sweet release
from duty and its round of care
Once more we turn to thee above,
Acknowledging thy boundless love
Dear Lord in every blossiming tree,
In every bloom our garden knows
Thy marvelous handiwork we see
Thy love we find in every rose
Lord may the service which is ours
Reflect thy glory as its flowers
Be with us through this night,we pray
and make our circle strong
May none amoung us go astray
Help us to choose the right from wrong
within these walls, however tried
May love and friendliness abide
Grace, the gift of life and all that is in it, from God -- Edgar knew then too that all of the glory is to and from Him -- peace and love my friend -- Jon Michael
