Default Every family has their own traditions.

This is the one we always have said in our family;

Bless us oh Lord and these thy gifts which we are about to receive from thy bounty.

We give thee thanks almighty God for all of thy benefits, who livest and reignest forever.

(And always add.)

May the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.

AMEN.

AND a favorite Thanksgiving Hymn which we sang just this week is one that everyone knows I think

We gather together to ask the Lords Blessing....
