Try the RAF Chaplains' Website (link below). There are some serious ones and some not so serious 
. (Some along the lines of the ones above!) You can always pic and mix. IMHO the best ones are short and sweet but funny.

If you find a good one, pass it on - I'm doing a grace at my sister's wedding later in the year after I do their ceremony for them.

I said I'd get back to you after the dinner tonight. However the grace was fairly conventional apart from the fact that I noticed this green glow in the palm of his hand - he had it on his mobile phone??!!!!!! Nor was he embarrassed when teased about it.

This is one I've used myself when asked as Mr Vice where there's not been a Padre:
Bless this food and those who serve us,
And from indigestion Lord preserve us.
Even if you don't use itI hope it all goes well.
And from indigestion Lord preserve us.

I have been directed here when looking for a suitable NEW grace.
The one I normally use and which is very good and can be adapted by changing the "golfing" to anything relevant on the night is:
Gentle Jesus so divine
Who turned the water into wine
Look down upon these golfing men
Who aim to turn it back again

Mention/don't* mention pink skirting boards, wandering sunderland floats or additions to painted numbers on Sqn roofs and that 206 is now the only remaining sqn number, albeit in a different role!
* delete as needed.
* delete as needed.
As I recall the CESR syllabus, the only brief required by Mr Vice is to be able to repeat the toast(s) as propsed by the PMC. Anything else is siperfluous, especially additions like "God bless her cotton socks" as was heard on one occasion. What happens after the top table has left the dining room is down to Mr Vice, and the depth of his pockest!
Well done on the night!
....however comma the one to the queen's consort is always a bit of a mouthful and you aren't the first to lose track of it all. (Mind you, the PMC's jab of "get it right" probably didn't help you).
It was a great night.

Rossian,
Last night's Mr Vice biffed the toast to the Queen's consort! Other than that it was a fantastic night; albeit with a tinge a sadness at the approaching demise of our maritime capability. No pianos were burned; however the remnants of a a 'harmonium' can be found outside the Officers' Mess!
