Whoever Eats This Bread is by composer and consultant Eric Law of the Kaleidoscope Institute. It is an excellent example of a notated composition found in a hymnal that can be easily adapted for paperless singing.

Commonly used during the Distribution of Elements within a eucharistic liturgy (the time when the bread and wine are shared), the antiphon/antiphon can be taught through call and echo patterns. Once confident, it can be sung as a three-part canon; secondary canons can also be added on the verses.

The piece can be sung a cappella or accompanied by an ostinato chord progression played by a keyboard instrument or guitar.

Antiphon: 
Whoever eats this bread will live for ever.

1. This is the true bread
which comes down from heaven
and gives life to the world. Antiphon

2. Whoever believes in me
shall not hunger or thirst,
for the bread which I give
for the life of the world is my flesh. Antiphon
