Lathbury (stanzas 1&2, 1877) and Alexander Groves (stanzas 3&4, 1913) 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. Oh, 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 the Lord.

Love divine, all loves excelling, Joy of heaven to earth come down; Fix in us thy humble dwelling; All thy faithful mercies crown! Jesus, Thou art all compassion, Pure unbounded love Thou art; Visit us with Thy salvation; Enter every trembling heart. Breathe, O breathe Thy loving Spirit, Into every troubled breast! Let us all in Thee inherit; Let us find that second rest. Take away our bent to sinning; Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its Beginning, Set our hearts at liberty.

Tell me the old, old story, Tell me the old, old story, Tell me the old, old story, Of Jesus and His love.

O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of care and sadness, Most beautiful, most bright, On thee the high and lowly Before th’ eternal throne Sing, “Holy, holy, holy,” To the great Three in One. 2. On thee at the Creation The light first had its birth; On thee for our salvation Christ rose from depth of earth; On thee our Lord victorious The Spirit sent from heaven, And thus on thee, most glorious, A threefold light was given.

By day, by night, at home, abroad, Still are we guarded by our God, By His incessant bounty fed, By His unerring counsel led. With grateful hearts the past we own; The future, all to us unknown, We to Thy guardian care commit, And peaceful leave before Thy feet. In scenes exalted or depressed, You are our joy, and You our rest; Your goodness all our hopes shall raise, Adored through all our changing days.

Cat Stevens included an acoustic version on his 1971 album ‘Teaser and the Firecat’. It became a signature song for Stevens when it reached number 9 in the charts in 1972.  The original poem can be found in the anthology “Children’s Bells” under Farjeon’s original title ‘A Morning Song (For the First Day of Spring)’, published by Oxford University Press in 1957. The tune to which it is normally sung is called “Bunessan”, based upon a Scottish Gaelic traditional melody.  Morning has broken, like the first morning Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird Praise for the singing, praise for the morning Praise for the springing fresh from the word Sweet the rain’s new fall, sunlit from heaven Like the first dewfall, on the first grass Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden Sprung in completeness where his feet pass M 2008-04-02T00:54:01-06:00 http://www.gospelmusiclyricsonline.info/index.php/site/god_who_made_the_earth_and_heaven/ http://www.gospelmusiclyricsonline.info/index.php/site/god_who_made_the_earth_and_heaven/#When:00:45:00Z Song lyrics to ‘God Who Made the Earth and Heaven’, written by Reginald Heber, 1827, tune: Ar Hyd Y Nos God, who made the earth and heaven, Darkness and light: You the day for work have given, For rest the night. May your angel guards defend us, Slumber sweet your mercy send us, Holy dreams and hopes attend us All through the night. And when morn again shall call us To run life’s way, May we still, whatever befall us, Your will obey. From the power of evil hide us, In the narrow pathway guide us, Never be your smile denied us All through the day.

Pierpoint, 1864, music adapted by Conrad Kocher For the beauty of the earth, For the glory of the skies; For the love which from our birth, Over and around us lies; Chorus: Lord of all, to Thee we raise This, our hymn of grateful praise. For the wonder of each hour, Of the day and of the night; Hill and vale and tree and flow’r, Sun and moon, and stars of light; Chorus: Lord of all, to Thee we raise This, our hymn of grateful praise.
