271 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.
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.

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.
Bless Thou the truth dear Lord

All fetters fall;
And I shall find my peace
My all in all.

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.

Spirit and life are they
Words Thou dost speak;
I hasten to obey
But I am weak;
Thou art my only help
Thou art my life;
Heeding Thy holy Word
I win the strife.
