HYMN NOTES: For the Bread Which You Have Broken (516) This hymn was written November 21, 1924 by the foremost hymnologist of his day, Louis F. Benson. Dr. Henry Sloane Coffin (The Riverside Church) read the draft but wanted an additional verse bringing in Service and Kingdom. “ … The next day I sat down and wrote the verse,” said Benson. The composer of the tune, V. Earle Copes is now a resident of FL. In a phone call from his daughter about three weeks ago, she shared with me that Copes—now nearly 94 years old—has recently given up playing the organ and is a resident in an assisted living facility in Sara-sota. There are two versions of his tune because after the publisher ne-glected to renew the copyright of the original 1959 tune, Copes changed one note in the melody (the “E” first beat, second measure to a “G”), reharmonized it and even changed the tune name to FOR THE BREAD. The original tune and harmonization appears in Glory to God.
