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!
 
Have a great night all and take care.
