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, 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.3.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.4.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.
