Worship Leadership Tips
This hymn is typically done in a reflective, acoustic style to allow for a meditative mood during Communion. Introduce it softly, perhaps reading 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 before or between verses.
Arrangement Tips
Because the song is structured to guide through taking Communion, you can actually serve the elements during the song. End gently and reverently, maintaining the contemplative atmosphere.
