Break thou the Bread of Life

1.Break thou the Bread of Life.
Dear Lord, to me,
As Thou didst break the bread
Beside the sea;
Beyond the sacred page
I seek Thee, Lord;
My spirit longs for Thee,
Thou Living Word.

2. 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.

3. Oh, 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 Thee, Lord.

4. Bless Thou the Bread of life
To me, to me,
As Thou didst bless the loaves
By Galilee;
Then shall all bondage cease,
All fetters fall,
And I shall find my peace,
My All in all.

As the deer pants for the water,

1. As the deer pants for the water,
So my soul longs after You.
You alone are my heart’s desire
And I long to worship You.

Chrous:
You alone are my strength, my shield,
To You alone may my spirit yield.
You alone are my heart’s desire
And I long to worship you.

2.I want You more than gold or silver,
Only You can satisfy.
You alone are the real joy-giver
And the apple of my eye.

3.You are my Friend and You are my Brother,
Even though You are a King.
I love you more than any other
So much more than anything.

And can it be that I should gain

1. And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Saviour’s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain?
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! how can it be That
Thou, my God, should’st die for me?

2. ‘The mystery all! The Immortal dies
Who can explore His strange design?
In vain the first-born seraph tries
To sound the depths of love Divine!
‘Tis mercy all! let earth adore,
Let angel minds inquire no more.

3. He left His Father’s throne above,
So free, so infinite His grace;
Emptied Himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam’s helpless race;
Tis mercy all, immense and free;
For, O my God, it found out me.

4. Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night;
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray,
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off, my heart was free;
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.

5. No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine!
Alive in Him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine,
Bold I approach the eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.

Amazing grace! how sweet the sound

Verse 1:
Amazing grace! how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

Verse 2:
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!

Verse 3:
Thro’ many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come:
‘Tis grace that bro’t me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

Verse 4:
when we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
That when we first began.

All things bright and beautiful

All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.

1. Each little flower that opens,
Each little bird that sings,
He made their glowing colours
He made their tiny wings.

2. The purple-headed mountain,
The river running by,
The sunset, and the morning
That brightens up the sky.

3. The cold wind in the winter,
The pleasant summer sun
The ripe fruits in the garden,
He made them every one.

4. He gave us eyes to see them,
And lips that we might tell
How great is God Almighty,
Who hath done all things well.
