Eat the bread, ye people of the Lord
- 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! - Drink the wine, ye people of the Lord:
We're the church His precious blood has bought.
We're redeemed to be in one accord—
This the goal for which He long has sought. - 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! - 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. - 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! - 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. - 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! - 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.
