In the breaking of the bread

In the breaking of the bread
we have known Him; we have been fed.
Jesus the stranger, Jesus the Lord,

manna of ages of struggle and tears.
Cup of salvation, fruit of the land,
bless and receive now, the work of our hands.

Gathered at table, joined as one body,
sealed in the spirit, sent by the Word.
Bread for the journey, strength for our years,
Bread of the promise, people of hope,
