Break Thou The Bread Of Life

This hymn was composed for the purpose of being a theme song at a Methodist camp in New York State over 100 years ago. It has since found its way into most of our hymnals and churches.

  5     4   5    6   -6   6    
Break Thou the bread of life,

  5    4    5 -4
Dear Lord, to me, 

 5   4    5      6  -6    6    
As Thou didst break the loaves

-6 -7   -6   6
Be-side the sea. 

-4   5  -5  -6   6   5   
Be-yond the sac-red page

6  -6   -6    -7
I seek Thee, Lord; 

 7   6  5   -4   -5   -6  
My spir-it pants for Thee,

-5 -4   6    4
 O liv-ing Word!

verse 2

Break, Thou the truth, dear Lord, To me, to me.
As Thou didst bless the bread By Galilee;
Then shall all bondage ease, All fetters fall;
And I shall find my peace, My all in all.

verse 3

Thou art the bread of life, O Lord, to me;
Thy holy Word he truth that saveth me;
Give me to eat and live with Thee above;
Teach me to love Thy truth, for Thou art love.

verse 4

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,
For in Thy book revealed I see Thee, Lord.
