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.

 2 

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.

 3 

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 the Lord.

 4 

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.
