Ming also mentioned this communion song by Marty Haugen as one he uses as an instrumental.
The text is based on the Didache and while the tune is nice the whole song is fine for Eucharist. I could find an MP3 for sale at GIA but not the sheet music but you can buy it at sheetmusicplus and Hymnary notes its presence in the Gather hymnals generally, not just Gather Australia where I have a copy.
(There is a setting by David Haas of Haugen’s text but that is a different tune altogether.)
Ming is obviously correct that it is a good tune for an instrumental, as others have followed his lead.

Thank you, Geoff.
The sound clip and the two youtube clips are all of the same song. Did you mean to share a different sound clip? Thanks from Ming ( = Mark Leung )
You’re right Mark, I did mean to just put up clips of the one Haugen tune. Do you use that one or the Haas tune that sets the Haugen text?
Geoff
Geoff, I play Marty Haugen’s As the Grains of Wheat (GA 194) as written.
