Author: Fred Kaan (b. 1929) Hymnal: Hymns for Celebration #18 (1974) Meter: 5.6.6.4 Lyrics: 1 As we break the bread
and taste the life of wine,
we bring to mind our Lord,
man of all time.
2 Grain is sown to die;
it rises from the dead,
becomes through human toil
our common bread.
3 Pass from hand to hand
the living love of Christ!
Machine and man provide
bread for this feast.
4 Jesus binds in one
our daily life and work;
he is of all mankind
symbol and mark.
5 Having shared the bread
that died to rise again,
we rise to serve the world,
scattered as grain. Topics: Holy Communion At the Communion Languages: English Tune Title: MASSON
