Savior, like a shepherd lead us,
|| Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus
much we need Thy tender care;
in Thy pleasant pastures feed us,
for our use Thy folds prepare:
Thou hast bought us, Thine we are; |||| Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
We are Thine - do Thou befriend us,
be the Guardian of our way;
keep Thy flock, from sin defend us,
seek us when we go astray:
hear, O hear us when we pray; |||| Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Thou hast promised to receive us,
Poor and sinful though we be;
Thou hast mercy to relieve us,
Grace to cleanse and pow'r to free:
early let us turn to Thee |||| Blessed Jesus, Blessed Jesus,
Early let us seek Thy favor,
Early let us do Thy will
Blessed Lord and only Savior,
with Thy love our bosoms fill
Thou hast loved us, love us still ||
A grace is a short prayer or thankful phrase said before or after eating. The term most commonly refers to Christian traditions. Some traditions hold that grace and thanksgiving imparts a blessing which sanctifies the meal. In English, reciting such a prayer is sometimes referred to as "saying grace". The term comes from the Ecclesiastical Latin phrase gratiarum actio, "act of thanks." Theologically, the act of saying grace is derived from the Bible, in which Jesus and Saint Paul pray before meals. The practice reflects the belief that humans should thank God who is the origin of everything.
A Christian child's prayer is Christian prayer recited primarily by children that is typically short, rhyming, or has a memorable tune.

The common table prayer is probably the best known mealtime prayer among North American Lutherans. Several other variations also exist.
