Dan Schutte‘s 2016 communion hymn, “Supper of the Lamb” was added to Breaking Bread for 2020.
It has fifteen verses and the melody changes every five verses so it would provide interest in a very long communion procession or could be three different songs with the same refrain if you wanted.
The sheet music can be purchased at OCP where they provide the text in their preview.
This Marian social justice song by Juan A. Espinosa was added for Breaking Bread in 2020. This style is not part of our local culture but the song is singable and liturgically useful. If YouTube covers are any indication it is a popular song. There is an English text as well.
The text is at OCP in their sample and they will sell you the sheet music.
Entrance: Come to the Water (Andersen) AOV 1/74
Psalm 144 (McKenna)

This 2015 Barbara Bridge song was included in Breaking Bread for 2020. The words are simply taken from verses in John’s gospel and I can’t see how any copyright claim can be made on any of the text at all. The music is hers and is suitably peaceful.
You can see what I mean about the text in the preview at OCP. The sheet music can be purchased at OCP.
This is traditional styled hymn of praise from 2017 by Ricky Manalo that is majestic indeed.
It was one of the new songs for Breaking Bread in 2020. He based the text on Psalm 104:1, Colossians 1:15 and revelation 22:13.
The sheet music can be purchased at OCP, where the text is in their preview.
My backing is BIAB in slightly pathetic orchestra mode.
If you are looking for a less triumphalist hymn for Christ the King this sweet song from 2016 that has been added to Breaking Bread for 2020 might fit the bill. It is written by a committee of Sarah Hart, Josh Blakesley, Sarah Kroger and Ike Ndolo. OCP also suggest it for Holy Week.

This is a lovely Sarah Hart song from 2017 that has been added to Breaking Bread for 2020. It has an obvious use for anointing but I think it would fit situations in weekly liturgies as well, maybe for gifts, thanksgiving or a recessional.
There are three verses, a refrain after the second verse which more like a bridge, and a coda to finish things off after the last verse.
OCP will sell you the sheet music and provide the text in their preview.
My backing benefited by clear suggestions in the sheet music.
Entrance: A New Heart for a New World (O’Brien/Watts) AOV 1/158
Psalm 102 (McKenna)
The Lord is kind and merciful, slow to anger and rich in compassion.
Gifts: A Trusting Psalm (Bates) AOV 1/115
Communion: Bread of Life (Farrell) AOV 1/164
Thanksgiving: Will You Love Me? (Boniwell) AOV 1/40
Recessional: Though the Mountains May Fall (Schutte) AOV 1/182
For the 2020 edition of Breaking Bread OCP have added this new setting of James Quinn‘s text. The triumphal music is by Luke D Rosen.
Quinn’s words are here and you can purchase the sheet music at OCP.
Orchestral pomp is usually unintentionally funny in my hands with BIAB.
Proving that tympanis are not essential is Chris Brunelle.
The question remains, is it a better setting than DUKE STREET?
This is a newish gathering song (2107) from Michael Joncas that has been added to Breaking Bread for 2020. It is also a song of mission and commissioning suitable as a recessional. It uses a narrative setting to advance the text.
OCP sell the sheet music and provide the text in their preview.
The wonderful Chris Brunelle has covered all these new songs in Breaking Bread so I will be putting up his clips everyday it seems.
