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.

1. On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, the emblem of suffering and shame; and I love that old cross where the dearest and best for a world of lost sinners was slain.
Refrain:
So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, and exchange it some day for a crown.
2. O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world has a wondrous attraction for me; for the dear Lamb of God left his glory above to bear it to dark Calvary. (Refrain)
3. In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine, a wondrous beauty I see, for ’twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died, to pardon and sanctify me. (Refrain)
4. To that old rugged cross I will ever be true, its shame and reproach gladly bear; then he’ll call me some day to my home far away, where his glory forever I’ll share. (Refrain)

1 God of change and glo­ry, God of time and space. When we fear the fu­ture, Give to us your grace. In the midst of chang­ing ways, Give us still the grace to praise.
Refrain:
Many gifts, one Spir­it, One love known in ma­ny ways in our dif­fer­ence is bless­ing,
From di­ver­si­ty we praise One Giv­er, one Lord,
One Spir­it, one Word known in ma­ny ways,
Hallowing our days for the Giv­er, for the gifts,
Praise, praise, praise!
2 God of many col­ors, God of ma­ny signs,
You have made us dif­fer­ent, blessing ma­ny kinds. As the old ways dis­ap­pear, let your love cast out our fear. Refrain
3 Freshness of the morn­ing, newness of each night, You are still cre­at­ing endless love and light. This we see, as sha­dows part, many gifts from one great heart. Refrain

1 In the cross of Christ I glory, towering o’er the wrecks of time; all the light of sacred story gathers round its head sublime.
2 When the woes of life o’ertake me, hopes deceive, and fears annoy, never shall the cross forsake me. Lo! it glows with peace and joy.
3 When the sun of bliss is beaming light and love upon my way, from the cross the radiance streaming adds more luster to the day.
4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, by the cross are sanctified; peace is there that knows no measure, joys that through all time abide.
5 In the cross of Christ I glory, towering o’er the wrecks of time; all the light of sacred story gathers round its head sublime.

1 “Are ye able,” said the Master, “To be crucified with me?” “Yea,” the sturdy dreamers answered, “To the death we follow Thee.”
REFRAIN: Lord, we are able. Our spirits are Thine. Remold them, make us, Like Thee, divine. Thy guiding radiance Above us shall be A beacon to God, To love, and loyalty.
2 Are ye able to remember, When a thief lifts up his eyes, That his pardoned soul is worthy Of a place in paradise? REFRAIN
3 Are ye able when the shadows Close around you with the sod, To believe that spirit triumphs, To commend your soul to God? REFRAIN
4 “Are ye able?” Still the Master Whispers down eternity, And heroic spirits answer Now, as then, in Galilee. REFRAIN
