# 271 Break Thou the Bread of Life
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.
4. Spirit and life are they, Words Thou dost speak I hasten to obey, But I am weak Thou art my only help Thou art my life; Heeding Thy holy Word I win the strife.
