Dear Lord, we thank Thee for this bread (Alternate Tune)

1
Dear Lord, we thank Thee for this bread,
  It is a sign divine;
In it we see the mysteries
  Of God's unique design.
2
This bread Thy body signifies,
  Which Thou hast giv'n for us,
That we may share Thy life divine,
  Partaking of Thee thus.
3
For us Thy body Thou didst break
  That Thou may thus impart
Thyself as life to us that we
  May be Thy counterpart.
4
This bread thus also signifies
  Thy body mystical,
Of which we living members are,
  With Thee identical.
5
Though we are many grains of wheat,
  Yet all one loaf, one bread;
Remembering Thee in such a way,
  With Thee we all are fed.
6
As of this bread we all commune,
  Thou, Lord, dost satisfy;
With all the saints we fellowship,
  And Thee we testify.
