GRACE after MEAT . I. BLEST be the GOD , whose tender Care Prevents his Children's Cry , Whose Pity providently near Doth all our Wants supply . II . Blest be the GOD , whose Bounty's Store These chearing Gifts imparts ; Who veils in Bread , the secret Power That feeds and glads our Hearts . III . Fountain of Blessings , Source of Good , To Thee this Strength we owe , Thou art the Virtue of our Food , Life of our Life below . IV . When shall our Souls regain the Skies ? Thy Heav'nly Sweetness prove ? Fulness of Joys shall there arise , And all our Food be Love .
