If you are out at a restaurant this evening you might like to say grace before hand. Here is the burns poem, " A Grace Before Dinner, Extempore
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!
Burns has recently been brought to life with a 3D animation of him reciting one of his most famous poems. You can take a look here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-42792795
