Break Thou the bread of life

169
					6.4.6.4.D.

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 longs for Thee,
	Thou Living Word.

2	Break Thou the bread of life,
	O Lord, to me,
	That hid within my heart
	Thy word may be:
	Mould Thou each inward thought,
	From self set free,
	And let my steps be all
	Controlled by Thee.

3	Open Thy words of truth
	That I may see
	Thy message written clear
	And plain for me;
	Then, in sweet fellowship,
	Walking with Thee,
	Thine image on my life
	Engraved will be.

4	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.
