Notes Bread of Life. 6. 4. 6. 4. D.
Lyrics 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. O 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. 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. Teach me to live, dear Lord, Only for Thee, As Thy disciples lived In Galilee; Then, all my struggles o'er, Then, vict'ry won, I shall behold Thee, Lord, The Living One.
