Break Thou The Bead Of Life

Break Thou the Bread of Life,
Dear Lord, to me,
As Thou did'st 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,
Oh Lord, to me,
Thy Holy Word the truth
That saveth me;
Give me to eat and live
With Thee above,
Teach to love Thy truth,
For Thou art love.

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.

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.
