Author: Mary A. Lathbury Hymnal: The New Church Hymnal #160 (1976) Topics: The Christian Life Aspiration and Consecration; Communion; Prayer; Word of God 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 Break 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 beholdThee, Lord,
The Living One. Languages: English Tune Title: BREAD OF LIFE
Break Thou the Bread of Life
