Description
SATB and Organ. Wonderful setting from a voluntary by John Alcock (1715-1806). This version is for Lent (sans Alleluia) and is perfect for Maundy Thursday. Can be done as a short anthem at communion or as a fraction anthem with a cantor. The non-Lenten version can be found here.

Lyrics
The disciples knew the Lord Jeus in the breaking of the bread.
The bread which we break is the communion of the body of Christ.
One body are we, for though we are many, we share one bread.
