Author: Mary A. Lathbury (1842-1913); Alexander Groves (1842-1909) Hymnal: SDAH1985 #271 (1985) Meter: 6.4.6.4 D First Line: Break Thou the bread of life, Dear Lord, to me Lyrics: 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. Topics: Holy Scriptures Scripture: Matthew 14:19 Tune Title: BREAD OF LIFE
