The A.M.E. Zion Hymnal ‎#330

330. For the Bread, Which Thou Hast Broken

1 For the bread, which Thou hast broken;
For the wine, which Thou hast poured;
For the words, which Thou hast spoken;
Now we give Thee thanks, O Lord.

2 By this pledge that Thou dost love us,
By Thy gift of peace restored,
By Thy call to heaven above us,
Hallow all our lives, O Lord.

3 With our sainted ones in glory
Seated at our Father’s board,
May the Church that waiteth for Thee
Keep love’s tie unbroken, Lord.

4 In Thy service, Lord, defend us;
In our hearts keep watch and ward;
In the world where Thou dost send us
Let Thy kingdom come, O Lord.

AMEN.
