Be known to us in breaking bread

Be known to us in breaking bread,
but do not then depart;
Savior, abide with us, and spread
thy table in our heart.

There sup with us in love divine;
thy Body and thy Blood,
that living bread, that heavenly wine,
be our immortal food.

Words: James Montgomery (1771-1854)
