Brownie/Guide graces

The following graces can be used for Brownie Pack Holiday or Guide Camp - you can also download all of them formatted onto landscape A4 so they can be the reverse of laminated place mats.

Tune: Frere Jacques

Our dear Father,
Our dear Father
Once again,
Once again
We would ask Thy blessing,
We would ask Thy blessing,
Amen,
Amen

Tune: Row, row, row your boat

Sing, sing, sing your praise
To the Lord above
For the day and for the food
And for His lasting love.

Zip a dee do dah, zip a dee ay
I am grateful for God's blessings today
I've plenty to eat, to drink and to share
I sit at God's table and see love everywhere.

May God bless the girls at this meeting
May God bless the food we are eating
May God bless the ones who are leading

Laughing, caring, sharing Brownies are we
Laugh everybody, sing everybody
Share a smile with me.

Looks good, Tastes fine
And we praise God for all time

Singing Do wah diddy diddy dum diddy doo.

Lord….Thank…You, you, you

To the left, to the right, look all around it's everywhere
We are blessed with Your love so
Lord please teach us to share.

We thank you Father for our evening meal
For fun & friends and the happiness we feel
For blessing and guidance and love we pray
Be with us tomorrow and each new day.

We bless the Lord,
We bless the Lord,
We bless the Lord, for all we're worth
And we thank Him for his goodness
And for everything on earth.
