For the Bread Which You Have Broken

Louis F. Benson (1924) • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 145:18

Verse 1

For the bread, which you have broken For the cup, which you have poured, For the words, which you have spoken, Now we give you thanks, O Lord.

Verse 2

By this pledge that you do love us, By the gift of peace restored, By your call to Heav'n above us, Hallow all our lives, O Lord.

Verse 3

With our sainted ones in glory, Seated at our Father's board, May the Church, which waits still for thee, Keep love's tie unbroken, Lord.

Verse 4

In your service, Lord, defend us, In our hearts keep watch and ward, In the world, where you have sent us, Let your kingdom come, O Lord.
