Communion Hymn

Christ comes in the breaking of the bread,
the shedding of his blood;
God’s love is food and drink, his grace flows like a flood.
Jesus the crucified, the Lamb of God who died:
Christ comes in the breaking of the bread,
the shedding of his blood.

Christ comes in the breaking of the bread,
his death brings life anew
To all who hear the Word – the many and the few.
A broken world is healed, th’eternal’s love is sealed:
Christ comes in the breaking of the bread,
his death brings life anew.

Christ comes in the breaking of the bread:
now heav’n and earth are one.
Time’s veil dissolves away in Jesus, God’s own Son:
The eucharistic feast makes us Christ’s salt and yeast.
Christ comes in the breaking of the bread:
now heav’n and earth are one.
