One from childhood often said with feeling by my mother

Thank the Lord for what we've had
If it had been a bit more we'd have been very glad
But, seeing as times are so very bad
Thank the Lord for what we've had

Sian I have a slightly different translation of the bardic recitation by R J Stewart

Grant, O Divine Being, thy Protection
And in Protection, Strength
And in Strength, Understanding
And in Understanding, Knowledge
And in Knowledge, the Knowledge of Justice
And in the Knowledge of Justice, the Love of Justice
And in that Love, the Love of all Beings
And in the Love of all Beings, The Love of Divine Being
