1 Be known to us in breaking bread,
but do not then depart;
Savior, abide with us, and spread
your table in our heart.
2 Here share with us, in love divine,
your body and your blood,
that living bread, that heavenly wine
be our immortal food.

Not all communion texts refer to the Last Supper: this brief hymn is based on the meal at Emmaus shared by the Risen Christ and his two companions on the road (Luke 24:13–35). It is set to a 16th-century psalm tune that carries the text with appropriate simplicity.
