As Stephen A. Reynolds of Heber City, Utah, sat in sacrament meeting one Sunday almost nine years ago, he felt “particularly flawed and imperfect,” he said.
He did not remember what had happened that week—what he had said or done or not done—that was weighing on him, but he wondered if he was even worthy to partake of the sacrament.
“As the bread began to be passed, these words, along with a simple melody and harmony, came into my mind: ‘As bread is broken, we think of Thee,’” Reynolds said.
Reynolds wrote the words down on his printed program. This was the beginning of what later became the new sacrament hymn “As Bread Is Broken,” one of the first new hymns added in 2024 to “Hymns for Home and Church,” the new global hymnbook of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
