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.Bless thou the truth revealed This day to me, As thou didst bless the bread By Galilee; Then shall all bondage cease, All fetters fall; And I shall find in thee, My all in all! 3.Spirit and life are they, Words thou dost speak; I hasten to obey, But I am weak; Thou art my only help, Thou art my life; Heeding thy holy word I win the strife.
