I Break Thou the bread of life, Dear Lord, to me,

the sea;

I seek Thee, Lord; My spirit pants for Thee, O living Word. A-MEN.

But when our eyes be - hold Thy word, We read Thy Name in fair - er lines. A-MEN.

2 The rolling sun, the changing light, 4 Nor shall Thy spreading gospel rest And nights and days, Thy power con

fess;

But the blest volume Thou hast writ
Reveals Thy justice and Thy grace.

3 Sun, moon, and stars convey Thy praise
Round the whole earth, and never
stand;

So when Thy truth began its race,
It touched and glanced on every land.

Till through the world Thy truth has

run;

Till Christ has all the nations blest
That see the light, or feel the sun.

5 Great Sun of Righteousness, arise;
Bless the dark world with heavenly
light:

Thy gospel makes the simple wise,
Thy laws are pure, Thy judgments right.

128 (THE SEVEN WORDS)

1 JESUS, with Thy Church abide,
Be her Saviour, Lord, and Guide,
While on earth her faith is tried:
We beseech Thee, hear us.

2 Keep her life and doctrine pure;
Grant her patience to endure,
Trusting in Thy promise sure:

We beseech Thee, hear us.

Rev. Isaac Watts, 1719

4 May her lamp of truth be bright,
Bid her bear aloft its light
Through the realms of heathen night:
We beseech Thee, hear us.

5 May she holy triumphs win,
Overthrow the hosts of sin,
Gather all the nations in:

We beseech Thee, hear us.
6 May she soon all glorious be,
Spotless and from wrinkle free,
Pure and bright and worthy Thee :
We beseech Thee, hear us.
Rev. Thomas B. Pollock, 1871: alt. Hy. Anc. and Mod. 1875

3 Save her love from growing cold,
Make her watchmen strong and bold,
Fence her round, Thy peaceful fold:
We beseech Thee, hear us.
