German Mealtime Prayer

Uncle Rudi sent to me. This is the prayer Gumps used to say when I was growing up. Generally he said the English kid version you have heard me say "Dear God, thank you this food, and the children, and the clothes we wear. Please be present with us everywhere; Amen." But when Gumps would say this on occasion and it always impressed me:

Komm, Herr Jesus, sei unser Gast
und segne was du uns bescheret hast.

Gesegnet Mahlzeit!
