WE SHALL EAT AND BE SATISFIED

"We Shall Eat And Be Satisfied" is a reverent and direct Communion hymn that draws the congregation’s focus to the true nature of the Eucharist. The song frames the Lord’s table not just as a place of spiritual nourishment, but as a "clarion call to holiness" and repentance. It reminds us that approaching the altar requires a prepared heart, making it a highly appropriate choice for the Communion procession when the faithful step forward to receive.

The verses walk singers through the profound mystery of the bread and wine becoming the body and blood of Christ. With a gentle but firm reminder in the third verse about receiving in a state of grace, the piece balances the joy of the heavenly banquet with the solemnity of the sacrament. For a choir, the straightforward solfa arrangement allows the message to ring out clearly, inviting everyone to partake worthily and find true spiritual satisfaction.
