Nicolaes Maes, Old Woman Saying Grace, about 1656. Rijksmuseum.
«Whether you eat or drink, or whatever else you do, do all to the glory of God.» I. Cor. X. 31.— «Jesus taking the seven loaves and the fishes, and giving thanks he brake and gave to his disciples.» Matt. XV. 36.
«The eyes of all hope in thee O Lord, and thou givest them meat in due season. Thou openest thy hand, and fillest with blessing every living creature.» Ps. CXLIV. 15. Glory etc.
Bless us, O Lord, and these thy gifts, which of thy bounty we are going to partake; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
