Author: Mary A. Lathbury, 1841-1913 Hymnal: African American Heritage Hymnal #334 (2001) Meter: 6.4.6.4 D Hymnal Title: African American Heritage Hymnal Lyrics: 1 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 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 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. Topics: Bible--Word of God; Devotional; Jesus Christ His Glory and Power; Jesus Christ His Life and Ministry Scripture: Luke 11:28 Languages: English Tune Title: BREAD OF LIFE
