654. BREAK THOU THE BREAD

---

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 loving word!

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.
