Common Praise ‎#282

282. Be known to us in breaking bread

1 Be known to us in breaking bread,
but do not then depart;
Saviour, abide with us, and spread
thy table in our heart.

2 There sup with us in love divine,
thy body and thy blood,
that living bread, that heavenly wine,
be our immortal food.
