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,
Mould Thou each inward thought-
From self set free
And let my steps be all –
Controlled by Thee.
3.Open thy word of Truth –
that I may see,
Thy message written clear –
And plain for 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.
