poems, hymns and songs about the Bible
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 Thee Lord.
—by Mary A. Lathbury (1841–1913)
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Psalm 119:11
