Break Thou The Bread Of Life
Break Thou the Bread of Life, dear Lord, to me, As Thou didst break the bread beside the sea; Beyond the sacred page I seek Thee, Lord; My spirit longs for Thee, Thou living Word.
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.
Speak by 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 Thee, Lord.
Bless Thou the Bread of Life to me, to me, As Thou didst bless the loaves by Galilee; Then shall all bondage cease, all fetters fall, And I shall find my peace, my All in all.— Mary A. Lathbury (1841–1913)
