Break Thou the Bread of Life

Break thou the bread of life, Dear Lord, to me,As thou didst break the loaves Beside the sea;Beyond the sacred page I seek thee, Lord;My spirit pants for thee, O living Word!

Bless thou the truth, dear Lord, To me, to me,As thou didst bless the bread by Galilee;Then shall all bondage cease, All fetters fall;And I shall find my peace, My All-in-All.

Thou art the Bread of Life, O Lord, to me;Thy holy Word the truth That saveth me;Give me to eat and live With thee above;Teach me to love thy truth, For thou art love.
