Bread of the world by Christopher Upton — Lyrics
Bread of the world in mercy broken,
Wine of the soul in mercy shed,
By whom the words of life were spoken,
And in whose death our sins are dead:

About Bread of the world
This setting of the Eucharistic hymn Bread of the world is suitable for services of Holy Communion. Christopher Upton’s anthem for SATB choir and organ expresses the profound themes of sacrifice and redemption inherent in the liturgy. The text reflects on Christ’s broken body and shed blood, and prays that the Eucharist will be a sign of God’s grace nourishing the faithful. The composer’s setting would serve well to enhance congregational reflection during communion or as a choral offering within a communion service.
