With this bread we will remember him,
Son of God, broken and suffering:
for our guilt- innocent offering.
As we eat, remember him.

2. With this wine we will remember him,
on the cross, paying the price for sin-
blood of Christ cleansing us deep within.
As we drink, remember him.

Tune

The story behind the hymn

‘Do this’, the familiar words are repeated, ‘in remembrance of me’—1 Corinthians 11:24–25. The command of the Lord means neither a simple calling to mind nor some kind of sacrificial offering, but an active commitment, as with ‘Remember the Sabbath day …’. These 2 stzs, which may be assigned to the two parts of the Communion as it is being received depending on local custom, were written (and the tune WITH THIS BREAD composed) in 1994. As with Geoff Baker’s other songs, this appears here for the first time in a main hymnal.

A look at the author

Baker, Geoff

A songwriter whose work (including words, tunes and arrangements) began to appear, in the Spring Harvest books and elsewhere, in the 1990s. Living in Leicester, he works with Cross Rhythms, founded in 1983 by Chris and Kay Cole to provide accessible lyrics and music ‘for people who are outside the churches’, without watering down the truth. He has featured in many Christian music festivals as well as arranging music for Graham Kendrick among others. In 2000 he compiled The Keswick Song Book, signalling a new direction in Keswick spirituality. Nos.251, 266, 661, 777, 820, 1262.
