Sadly English people rarely say a grace before meals these days. Usually a grace is only said before formal meals, say at an important formal dinner or at a college or university meal. When I was in school in the 1960's it was the rule to say a grace before our midday meal. the one I vaguely remember was something like "Almighty and most merciful God bless this food to our use and our lives to Thy purpose. Amen"

Is it correct English to say a lunch meal?

There is nothing actually incorrect about the phrase "lunch meal", and a rapid search will find a number of uses of the phrase. There is, however, no good reason for using it, as lunch is and has always been a meal. The phrase is redundant and not idiomatic. Use of this phrase might give the erroneous impression that the word "lunch" refers to a time of day, rather than a meal.
