A traditional American folk hymn with a tune that’s sounds familiar but I can’t place. See if you know it listening to the excerpt at AOV. It must be famous, everyone from Joan Baez to Frank Sinatra has sung it. This choir does a rousing version.
My version goes at 95 bpm.
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.Let us drink wine together on our knees,
Let us drink wine together on our knees.
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.Let us praise God together on our knees,
Let us praise God together on our knees.
When I fall on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me.
