#9—FOR THE BREAD WHICH YOU HAVE BROKEN

This hymn was written by Louis F. Benson, a Presbyterian historian of hymnody and author of a number of hymns. This, and the next hymn, are "Lord's Supper" hymns. They will nicely complement our present Hymn 44. In stanza 1 we thank the Lord for the bread, the wine, and His Word. In stanza 2 we ask the Lord to hallow our lives by His promise, peace and call. In stanza 3 we pray the Lord to defend us, keep watch over us, and for the coming of His kingdom.
