1. Break thou the bread of life,
dear Lord, to me,
as thou didst break the loaves
beside the sea;
throughout 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. 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.
4. O send thy Spirit, Lord,
now unto me,
that he may touch mine eyes
and make me see:
show me the truth concealed
within thy Word,
and in thy Book revealed
I see the Lord.
