“Let Us Break Bread Together” is an African-American spiritual that probably originated in the 18th century.  Based in Matthew 26:26, “Jesus took bread, blessed it and broke it, and gave it to the disciples,” the words of the spiritual are well-known in most American churches. 

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.
