Text: Psalm 144:15

Oculi omnium ad te spectant; Domine tu das eis escam eorum in tempore opportuno.
Aperis tu manum tuam, et imples omne animal benedictione tua.
Sanctifica nos, quaesumus, per verbum et orationem;
Istisque tuis donis, quae de tua bonitate sumus percepturi, benedicito.
Per Jesum Christum Dominum nostrum.
Amen.

The eyes of all look towards thee, O Lord;
thou givest them their meat in due season.
Thou openest thine hand and fillest every living thing with thy blessing.
Sanctify us, we beseech thee, through word and prayer;
and give thy blessing to these thy gifts,
which of thy bounty we are about to receive,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
