109. 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.
2 Break Thou the bread of life, O Lord to me,
That hid within my heart Thy word may be;
Mould Thou each Inward thought from self set free
And let my steps be all controlled by Thee.
3 Open Thy word of truth that I may see,
Thy message written clear and plain for me
Then in sweet fellowship walking with Thee
Thine image on my life engraved will be.
4 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.
5 Oh, send 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.
6 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.
