The Riding of the Marches, 2011
Breakfast, Burgh Halls, Linlithgow
Court of the Deacons of the Royal and Ancient Burgh of Linlithgow
A Breakfast Grace
Be present at our tables Lord
In Lithgae's Burgh Halls restored.
Be with us in our friendship here
And bless our breakfast with your cheer.
Strangers come to friends at table
Makes a world that's far more stable.
Be with our Provost, Guests and Bailies
Who bid us join the day sae gaily.
Visit our townsfolk with your Spirit
Grant them joy as they draw near it.
And our children, Queen and arches,
Bless us all, long live the Marches!
Amen.
