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 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.
