Eat the bread, ye people of the Lord:
|
|
| 1. | Eat the bread, ye people of the Lord: |
| | Praise His name, for He has made us one. |
| | Now we come to eat in one accord |
| | As the church which He has made His own. |
| | Eat the bread and drink the wine, ye |
| | saints! |
| | We are one in Him fore'er. |
| | Stand in oneness on the local ground, |
| | Eat and drink in oneness there! |
| 2. | Drink the wine, ye people of the Lord: |
| | We're the church His precious blood has |
| | brought. |
| | We're redeemed to be in one accord- |
| | As a loaf in each locality. |
| 3. | Stand as one, ye people of the Lord: |
| | Not as individual grains are we- |
| | We are one, we're blent in one accord |
| | As a loaf in each locality. |
| 4. | We are one as people of the Lord; |
| | We declare that we are really one! |
| | Not just word, but life in one accord |
| | Testify what God in us hath done. |
| 5. | Eat the bread, ye people of the Lord: |
| | Praise His name, for He has made us one. |
| | Now we come to eat in one accord |
| | As the church which He has made His own. |
