Family table prayer
My dad, who passed away some years ago, used to periodically offer a similar table prayer to "Come, Lord Jesus" using more antiquated language. The rest of us would join our hearts but not our lips, so I never learned it and can only recall that it used "mayest", "thou", et cetera. Was this a prayer that he'd likely created or repeated from another individual, or was there such a Synodical Conference version penned and published (my father was raised in both LCMS and WELS congregations)? If the latter is true, I would appreciate receiving the words.
I have no way of knowing, but perhaps your dad might have used Psalm 145:15-16 from the King James Version: “The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season. Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.” The word “mayest” is not in those verses, but those words of the psalm writer have been the basis of table prayers for generations.
