Give us gay and grateful hearts." I have used
this grace on a number of occasions where it is met with snickers. Sad.

I think of Dylan Thomas' poem, "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night," wherein the word is powerfully used, but, as you mentioned, met with snickers by young readers. Thus am I no longer gay, but morose and curmudgeonly.
