Break Thou the Bread of Life
1 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. 2 Break Thou the bread of life, O Lord, to me, That hid within my heart Thy Word may be; Mold Thou each inward thought, From self set free, And let my steps to all Controlled by Thee. 3 Open Thy Word of Truth That I may see Thy message written clear And plain or me; Then in sweet fellowship, Walking with Thee, Thine image on my life Engraved will be. 4 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. 5 O send Thy Spirit, Lord, Now unto me, That He may touch my eyes And make me see; Show me the truth concealed Within Thy Word, And in Thy Book revealed I see the Lord.
