Our family started in SC and migrated to Mississippi.  Don't know which branch of
the family originated this but it was the grace we said each evening before eating.

                                    O Lord, pardon our sins
                                    And accept our thanks
                                    For these and all thy blessings,
                                    We humbly ask, for Christ's sake,
                                    Amen

My daddy died in 1979 at the age of 72.  I have always remembered the prayer he prayed at every meal:
