Joan Baez/Leon Bibb - Let Us Break Bread Together [HD]

Joan Baez sings the traditional spiritual 'Let Us Break Bread Together' from her 1987 Gold Castle album 'Recently' followed by Leon Bibb singing a second rendition from his 1962 Washington album 'Oh Freedom And Other Spirituals'. The song lyrics are in the video and listed below.

The Baez version of this song is from a track with a long introduction and then a version of 'Freedom' (usually called 'Oh Freedom'). This video uses only part of the track. Though not credited on the label listing, the backing singers I believe are the L. A. Choir for this live recording of the song.

Let Us Break Bread Together

Singer - Joan Baez

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

Singer - Leon Bibb

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 if you please

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 if you please
