Author: Brian R. Hoare (1935-) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #56 (1998) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 I am the bread, the bread of Life;
who comes to me will never hunger.
I am the bread, the bread of heaven;
who feeds on me will never die.
And as you eat, remember me,
my body broken on the tree:
my life was given to set you free,
and I'm alive for evermore.
2 I am the vine, the living vine;
apart from me you can do nothing.
I am the vine, the real vine:
abide in me and I in you.
And as you drink, remember me,
my blood was shed upon the tree:
my life was given to set you free,
and I'm alive for evermore.
3 So eat this bread and drink this wine,
and as you do, receive this life of mine.
All that I am, I give to you,
that you may live for evermore. Topics: Eucharist; liturgical Communion Songs; Bread; Eucharist; Holy Week (Maundy Thursday); Vine Scripture: Matthew 26:26-29 Languages: English Tune Title: PICKET WOOD
