Norwegian Table Grace

I learned this table grace from my dad when I was a child.  Most all Pedersens in the family can recite it.

“I Jesu navn

gar vi til bords

Spice og drikke pa ditt ord

Deg Gud til ere oss til gavn

Sa far vi mat I Jesu navn.”

Translation

In Jesus’ name we sit by the table to eat and drink at your word. By humbly honoring you God, we get food in Jesus’ name.

Here is a video to hear how it sounds.
