Description

SATB and Organ. A deliciously snooty version of the famous hymn. Yes, it's our motto: "We're good, we're cheap, and we're snooty!" Harmonic inventions abound in this scrumptious setting by Dr. Lehman.

Lyrics

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 on me.

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 on me.

Let us praise God together on our knees,
Let us praise God together on our knees,
When I fall on my knees,
with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.
