Break Thou the Bread of Life

Author: Mary A. Lathbury Meter: 6.4.6.4 D Appears in 755 hymnals Topics: Comforter Lyrics: 1 Break now the bread of life, dear Lord, 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 word of truth, dear Lord, 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! 3 You are the bread of life, dear Lord, to me, your holy word the truth that rescues me. Give me to eat and live with you above; teach me to love your truth, for you are love. 4 O send your Spirit now, dear Lord, to me, that he may touch my eyes and make me see. Show me the truth made plain within your Word, for in your book revealed I see you, Lord. Psalter Hymnal, 1987

Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,326 hymnals Topics: Comfort Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to thy bosom fly, while the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high. Hide me, O my Savior, hide, till the storm of life is past. Safe into the haven guide. O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none; hangs my helpless soul on thee. Leave, ah! leave me not alone; still support and comfort me. All my trust on thee is stayed; all my help from thee I bring. Cover my defenseless head with the shadow of thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; more than all in thee I find. Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is thy name; I am all unrighteousness. False and full of sin I am; thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cover all my sin. Let the healing streams abound; make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art; freely let me take of thee. Spring thou up within my heart. Rise to all eternity. Scripture: Ruth 2:12 Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH

If Thou but Trust in God to Guide Thee

Author: Georg Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Appears in 186 hymnals Topics: Comfort, Death, and Glory Lyrics: 1 If thou but trust in God to guide thee, and hope in Him through all thy ways, He'll give thee strength, whate'er betide thee, and bear thee through the evil days; who trusts in God's unchanging love builds on the Rock that naught can move. 2 What can these anxious cares avail thee, these never ceasing moans and sighs? What can it help, if thou bewail thee o'er each dark moment as it flies? Our cross and trials do but press the heavier for our bitterness. 3 Only be still, and wait His leisure in cheerful hope, with heart content to take whate'er thy Father's pleasure and all-discerning love have sent; nor doubt our inmost wants are known to Him who chose us for His own. 4 All are alike before the Highest; 'tis easy to our God, we know, to raise thee up, though low thou liest, to make the rich man poor and low; true wonders still by Him are wrought who setteth up and bright to naught. 5 Sing, pray, and keep His ways unswerving; in all thy labor faithful be, and trust His word; though undeserving, thou yet shalt find it true for thee: God never will forsake in need the soul that trusts in Him indeed.
