Eat the bread, ye people of the Lord

Eat the bread

ye people of the Lord:

Praise His name

for He has made us one.

Now we come to eat in one accord

As the church which He has made His own.

Eat the bread and drink the wine

ye saints!

We are one in Him fore’er.

Stand in oneness on the local ground

Eat and drink in oneness there!

Drink the wine

ye people of the Lord:

We’re the church His precious blood has bought.

We’re redeemed to be in one accord—

This the goal for which He long has sought.

Eat the bread and drink the wine

ye saints!

We are one in Him fore’er.

Stand in oneness on the local ground

Eat and drink in oneness there!

Stand as one

ye people of the Lord:

Not as individual grains are we—

We are one

we’re blent in one accord

As a loaf in each locality.

Eat the bread and drink the wine

ye saints!

We are one in Him fore’er.

Stand in oneness on the local ground

Eat and drink in oneness there!

We are one as people of the Lord;

We declare that we are really one!

Not just word

but life in one accord

Testify what God in us hath done.

Eat the bread and drink the wine

ye saints!

We are one in Him fore’er.

Stand in oneness on the local ground

Eat and drink in oneness there!

Eat the bread

ye people of the Lord:

Praise His name

for He has made us one.

Now we come to eat in one accord

As the church which He has made His own.
