In the Breaking of the Bread - Lyrics

Refrain
In the breaking of the bread
We have known Him we have been fed
Jesus the stranger Jesus the Lord
Be our companion be our hope


Verse 1
Bread for the journey strength for our years
Manna of ages of struggle and tears
Cup of salvation fruit of the land
Bless and receive now the work of our hands


Refrain


Verse 2
Bread of the promise people of hope
Wine of compassion life for the world
Gathered at table joined as one body
Sealed in the spirit sent by the Word


Refrain


Original verses
Once I was helpless sad and confused
Darkness surrounded me courage removed
And then I saw him by my side
Carry my burden open my eyes

 
There is no sorrow pain or woe
There is no suffering he did not know
He did not waver he did not bend
He is the victor he is my friend
