Tune 2: #856

 

 1  Dear Lord, we thank Thee for this bread,

       It is a sign divine;

    In it we see the mysteries

       Of God's unique design.

 

 2  This bread Thy body signifies,

       Which Thou hast giv'n for us,

    That we may share Thy life divine,

       Partaking of Thee thus.

 

 3  For us Thy body Thou didst break

       That Thou may thus impart

    Thyself as life to us that we

       May be Thy counterpart.

 

 4  This bread thus also signifies

       Thy body mystical,

    Of which we living members are,

       With Thee identical.

 

 5  Though we are many grains of wheat,

       Yet all one loaf, one bread;

    Remembering Thee in such a way,

       With Thee we all are fed.

 

 6  As of this bread we all commune,

       Thou, Lord, dost satisfy,

    With all the saints we fellowship,

       And Thee we testify.
