Author: Mary A. Lathbury Hymnal: Concordia #53 (1918) Lyrics: 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,
Then vict'ry won,
I shall behold Thee, Lord,
The Living One. Topics: The Church and Means of Grace The Word; Opening Hymns; Childhood Languages: English Tune Title: BREAD OF LIFE
