Words by Mary Lathbury (1841-1913)

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,

Now unto 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.
