A traditional table blessing and doxology

The tune is the Tallis canon, and it may be sung as a round. I have also heard it sung to 'Hernando's Hideaway' on A Prairie Home Companion, but I guess I am a traditionalist.

O Lord we thank Thee for this food
For every blessing, every good
For earthly sustenance and love
Bestowed on us from heaven above

Be present at our table, Lord
Be here and everywhere adored
Thy children bless and grant that we
May feast in paradise with thee

Praise God from Whom all blessings flow
Praise Him all creatures here below
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.
