Graces

Here are some common graces for use when camping out…

Hark to the Chimes

Hark to the chimes, come bow your head.

We thank thee Lord, for this good bread

Noontime has come, the board is spread

Thanks be to God, for this good bread.

(Johnny Appleseed grace)

In back of the loaf is the mill

In back of the mill is the grain

In back of the grain is the sun and the rain

God, our Father (repeat)

Once again (repeat)

We will ask thy blessings (repeat)

A—a-men (repeat)

‘Neath these tall green trees we stand

Asking blessings from Thy Hand.

Thanks we give to God above

For his help and strength and love.

Hark to the chimes, come bow your head.

We thank thee Lord, for this good bread

For health and strength and daily break,

We praise they name, Oh Lord.

We thank thee lord for ta thousand things.

For the flowers that bloom and the birds that sing

For the sun that shines and the rain that drops

For ice cream and raisins and lollipops!
