At MEALS . I. FATHER , our Eyes we lift to Thee , And taste our daily Bread : 'Tis now thy Open Hand we see , And on thy Bounty feed . II . 'Tis now the meaner Creatures join Richly thy Grace to prove ; Fulfil thy primitive Design , Enjoy'd by thankful Love . III . Still , while our Mouths are fill'd with Good , Our Souls to Thee we raise ; Our Souls partake of nobler Food , And banquet on thy Praise . IV . Yet higher still our farthest Aim ; To mingle with the Blest , T' attend the Marriage of the Lamb , And Heaven's Eternal Feast .
