254. 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;
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 art 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 the Lord.
