Text: | Break Thou the Bread of Life |
Author: | Mary Ann Lathbury |
Tune: | [Break Thou the bread of life] |
Composer: | William 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,
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 Teach me to live, dear Lord,
Only for Thee,
As Thy disciples lived
In Galilee;
Then, all my struggles o'er,
Them, vict'ry won,
I shall behold Thee, Lord,
The Living One.
