Summary: Thanks for daily food and for spiritual food and eternal life.

## Greek text

σύ, δέσποτα παντοκράτορ, ἔκτισας τὰ πάντα ἕνεκεν τοῦ ὀνόματός σου, τροφήν τε καὶ ποτὸν ἔδωκας τοῖς ἀνθρώποις εἰς ἀπόλαυσιν, ἵνα σοι εὐχαριστήσωσιν, ἡμῖν δὲ ἐχαρίσω πνευματικὴν τροφὴν καὶ ποτὸν καὶ ζωὴν αἰώνιον διὰ τοῦ παιδός σου.

## English translation (Claude)

You, almighty Master, created all things for your name's sake, and gave food and drink to human beings to enjoy, so that they might give you thanks; but to us you have graciously given spiritual food and drink and eternal life through your Servant.
