Music: William F. Sherwin
Break now the bread of life, dear Lord, to me,
As you once broke the loaves beside the sea;
Beyond the sacred page I seek You, Lord;
My spirit thirsts for You, O living Word!
Bless now the truth, dear Lord, to me, to me,
As You once blessed the bread by Galilee;
Then shall all slavery cease, all fetters fall;
And I shall find my peace, my all in all.
You are the bread of life, O Lord, to me,
Your holy Word the truth that’s saving me;
Give me to eat and live with You above;
Teach me to love Your truth, for You are love.
O send Your Spirit, Lord, here within me,
That He may touch my eyes, and make me see:
Show me the truth concealed within Your Word,
And in Your Book revealed I’ll see You, Lord.

Original Words
Lyrics: Mary A. Lathbury (v. 1-2), Alexander Groves (v. 3-4)
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!
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.
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.
O send Thy Spirit, Lord, now unto me,
That He may touch my eyes, and make me see:
Show me the truth concealed within Thy Word,
And in Thy Book revealed I see the Lord.
