| Text: | Break Thou The Bread Of Life |
| Author: | Mary A. Lathbury |
| Tune: | BREAD OF LIFE |
| Composer: | W. F. Sherwin |
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,
Ever 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!
3. Teach me to live, dear Lord,
Only for Thee,
As Thy disciples lived
In Galilee;
Then, all my struggles o'er,
Then vict'ry won,
I shall behold Thee, Lord,
The living One.
Amen.
