• In Thy fullness, my Lord,
  Filled with thy grace,
  For the purpose of union with Thee
  And to satisfy and glorify Thy creation,
  With thanks to Thee with all our hearts
  And with all our love for Thee,
  With all adoration for all Thy blessings
  We accept thy gift as it has come to us.
  The food is Thy blessing and in Thy service
  We accept in all gratitude, my Lord.

As for my own part, when I am employed in serving others I do not look upon myself as conferring favors but paying debts.
