A GRACE BEFORE DINNER by ROBERT BURNS

Poet Analysis

First Line: O THOU, WHO KINDLY DOST PROVIDE
Last Line: LORD, BLESS US WITH CONTENT. AMEN!
Subject(s): GRACE;

O thou, who kindly dost provide
For every creature's want!
We bless Thee, God of Nature wide,
For all Thy goodness lent:
And if it please Thee, Heavenly Guide,
May never worse be sent;
But, whether granted, or denied,
Lord, bless us with content. Amen!
