O dear God, thank you. You are such a good God to us. A kind and gentle and accommodating God. And we thank you, o sweet, sweet Lord of hosts for thee smörgåsbord you have so aptly lain at our table this day, and each day...by day, day by day...by day. O dear Lord, three things we pray: To love Thee more dearly, to see Thee more clearly, to follow Thee more nearly day by day...by day. Amen.
