Traditional Norwegian Table Prayer
Before Meal:
I Jesu Navn Gar vi til bords
A spise og drikke pa ditt ord
Deg Gud til aere, Oss til gavn
Sa far vi mat i Jesu navn.
Amen
After the Meal:
I Jesu Navn til bords we satt
Og fikk fra Herrens hand var mat
Til gavn for legem og for sjel
Gud lat oss det bekomme vel.
Amen
