LET US BREAK BREAD TOGETHER
Traditional Negro Spiritual

Let us break bread together
On our knees
Let us break bread together
On our knees
When I fall on my knees
With my face to the rising sun
O Lord, have mercy, if You please

Let us drink wine together
On our knees
Let us drink wine together
On our knees
When I fall on my knees
With my face to the rising sun
O Lord, have mercy, if You please

Let us all sing together
On our knees
Let us all sing together
On our knees
When I fall on my knees
With my face to the rising sun
O Lord, have mercy, if You please

Let us all work together
On our knees
Let us all work together
On our knees
When I fall on my knees
With my face to the rising sun
O Lord, have mercy, if You please

This is in a number of US hymnals as well.

I always wish we could use it for our Saturday Night Service-- but unlike Sunday mornings, on Saturday nights we do our communion standing up because we do the service less formally!
