Scripture: John 6:35

   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. Oh, 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.
