As We Break The Bread (Hymn)
Hymn / Produced by partner of TOW
AS WE BREAK THE BREAD
As we break the bread
And taste the life of wine,
We bring to mind our Lord
Man of all time.
Grain is sown to die:
It rises from the dead,
Becomes through human toil
Our common bread.
Pass from hand to hand
The living love of Christ!
Machine and man provide
Bread for this feast.
Jesus binds in one
Our daily life and work:
He is of humankind
Symbol and mark.
Having shared the bread
That dies to rise again,
We rise to serve the world,
Scattered as grain.
(Fred Kaan c.1968 Galliard)
