His Fullness Songs ‎#77

77. Break Thou the Bread of Life

1 Break Thou the bread of life,
Dear Lord, to me,
As Thou didst break the loaves
Beside the sea.
Within the sacred page
I see 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, O 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!
