Break Thou the Bread of Life
Author: Mary A. Lathbury; Alexander Groves Meter: 6.4.6.4 D Appears in 720 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 15:29-38 Lyrics: 1 Break now the bread of life, dear Lord, to me,
as thou didst breaj 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 are love.
4 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 thee, Lord. Topics: Spiritual Freedom; Holy Spirit Illuminator; Inner Peace; Holy Scriptures Used With Tune: BREAD OF LIFE
Break Thou the Bread of Life
My Song Is Love Unknown
Author: Samuel Crossman Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 127 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 15:31 Lyrics: 1 My song is love unknown,
my Savior’s love to me,
love to the loveless shown
that they might lovely be.
O who am I,
that for my sake
my Lord should take
frail flesh, and die?
2 He came from his blest throne
all made strange, and none
the longed-for Christ would know.
But, O, my Friend,
my fFiend indeed,
who at my need
his life did spend!
3 Sometimes they strew his way,
and his strong praises sing,
resounding all the way
Hosannas to their King.
Then “Crucify!”
is all their breath,
and for his death
they thirst and cry.
4 Why, what hath my Lord done?
What makes this rage and spite?
He made the lame to run,
he gave the blind their sight.
Sweet injuries!
Ye they at these
themselves displease,
and 'gainst him rise.
5 They rise, and needs will have
my dear Lord made away;
a murderer they save,
the Prince of life they slay.
Yet cheerful he
to suff'ring goes,
that he his foes
from thence might free.
6 In life, no house, no home
my Lord on earth might have;
in death, no friendly tomb
but what a stranger gave.
What may I say?
Heaven was his home,
but mine the tomb
wherein he lay.
7 Here might I stay and sing,
no story so divine:
never was love, dear King,
never was grief like thine.
This is my Friend,
in whose sweet praise
I all my days
could gladly spend.

The evil Heart
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 82 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 15:19 First Line: Astonish'd and distress'd Lyrics: 1 Astonish'd and distress'd,
I turn my eyes within;
My heart with loads of guilt opprest,
The seat of every sin.
2 What crowds of evil thoughts,
What vile affections there!
Distrust, presumption, artful guile,
Pride, envy, slavish fear.
3 Almighty King of Saints,
These tyrant lusts subdue;
Expel the darkness of my mind,
And all my powers renew.
4 This done, my cheerful voice
Shall loud hosannas raise;
My heart shall glow with gratitude,
My lips proclaim thy praise. Topics: The Fall; Evil heart

O Christ, the Healer, We Have Come
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 37 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 15:28 Lyrics: 1 O Christ, the healer, we have come
to pray for health, to plead for friends.
How can we fail to be restored
when reached by love that never ends?
2 From every ailment flesh endures
our bodies clamor to be freed;
yet in our hearts we would confess
that wholeness is our deepest need.
3 In conflicts that destroy our health
we recognize the world's disease;
our common life declares our ills.
Is there no cure, O Christ, for these?
4 Grant that we all, made one in faith,
in your community may find
the wholeness that, enriching us,
shall reach the whole of humankind.

Your Hands, O Lord, in Days of Old
Author: Edward Hayes Plumptre (1821-1891) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 177 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 15:21-28 Lyrics: 1 Your hands, O Lord, in days of old
were strong to heal and save;
they triumphed over pain and death,
o'er darkness and the grave.
To you they went, the blind, the mute,
the palsied and the lame,
the leper set apart and shunned,
the sick with fevered frame.
2 And then your touch brought life and health,
gave speech and strength and sight;
and youth renewed, with health restored,
claimed you, the Lord of light.
And so, O Lord, be near to bless,
almighty now as then,
in every street, in every home,
in every troubled friend.
3 O be our mighty healer still,
O Lord of life and death;
restore and strengthen, soothe and bless
with your almighty breath.
On hands that work and eyes that see,
your healing wisdom pour,
that whole and sick and weak and strong
may praise you evermore. Topics: Healing; Epiphany (season) Used With Tune: ST. MICHAEL'S

Lord, regard my earnest cry
Pray'r will at last an answer gain
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 15:21-28 Lyrics: 1 Pray'r will at last an answer gain,
Sure none shall seek the Lord in vain!
Tho' Jesus may at first delay,
None shall be empty sent away.
2 A certain passage we do read,
Proves it to be the case indeed:
A heathen woman fill'd with grief
Did come to Jesus for relief.
3 With fervent pray'r his help she sought,
Truly at first he answer'd not;
And in his turn he signified,
That she should ever be denied.
4 He first concealed what he meant,
By saying, I am only sent,
To grant relief and help to those
Of Jacob's race, whom God hath chose.
5 But still a more distressing word
Was then express'd by Christ the Lord;
I ought not take the childrens bread
And give to dogs that they be fed.
6 Yet all this drove her not away,
But caus'd her with more warmth to pray:
Have mercy Lord, O pitty me!
My trust for help is all in thee.
7 She own'd she was not Israel's seed,
But could be call'd a dog indeed;
But that would not take childrens bread,
Though dogs should with the crumbs be fed.
8 The Saviour then was forc'd to yield,
And with those words his mind reveal'd;
O! Woman, thou must have relief,
Undoubted, great is thy belief.
9 Here may we learn, here may we know;
What faith with humble pray'r can do;
Should we who are of christian race,
Not persevere to gain such grace? Topics: The Second Sunday in Lent
Pray'r will at last an answer gain
