Text: | Break Now the Bread of Life |
Author: | Mary Artemisia Lathbury |
Tune: | BREAD OF LIFE |
Composer: | William Fisk Sherwin |
1 Break now the bread of life, Saviour, to me,
as once you broke the loaves beside the sea.
Beyond the sacred page I seek you, Lord;
my spirit waits for you, O Living Word.
2 Bless your own truth, dear Christ, to me, to me,
as when you blessed the bread by Galilee;
then shall all bondage cease, all fetters fall,
and I shall find my peace, my all-in-all.
