447. Let Us Break Bread Together

1 Let us break bread together,
On our knees, on our knees;
Let us break bread together,
On our knees, on our knees.

Refrain:
When I fall on my knees, with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.

2 Let us drink wine together,
On our knees, on our knees;
Let us drink wine together,
On our knees, on our knees. [Refrain]

3 Let us praise God together,
On our knees, on our knees;
Let us praise God together,
On our knees, on our knees. [Refrain]

Amen.
