What a lovely idea from Fr Kevin Bates. I remember sung graces from my youth (not Catholic) like “Be Present at our Table Lord.”
The first and second parts of these two part rounds have different chords, but I’m not sure that would be a problem. They remind me of something Tolkien’s creations might sing.
Gathered ’round our table hearts and voices raised in song.
Thanking God for all we share; thanking God who calls us here.
Gift of food, gift of time; God of grace, we thank you.
Love it is that brings us here. God all love we thank you.
Like a tiny seed we grow, fed by love and mercy.
Sun and rain and love’s good soil will see our fruitful growing.
