1 Loaves were broken, words were spoken
by the Galilean shore.
Jesus, Bread of life from heaven,
was their food forevermore.
Chorus
By your body broken for us,
by your wine of life outpoured,
Jesus, feed again your people.
Be our Host, our Life, our Lord.
2 Loaves were broken, words were spoken
in a quiet room one night,
In the bread and wine you gave them,
Christ, you came as Light from Light.
3 Loaves are broken, words are spoken,
as in faith we gather here.
Jesus speaks across the ages:
"I am with you; do not fear!"
4 By the loaves you break and give us,
send us in your name to share
bread for which the millions hunger,
words that tell your love and care.
