| Text: | I hunger and I thirst |
| Author: | Rev. J. S. B. Monsell |
| Tune: | [I hunger and I thirst] |
| Composer: | Henry Smart |
1 I hunger and I thirst;
Jesu, my Manna be:
Ye living waters, burst
Out of the Rock for me.
2 Thou bruised and broken Bread,
My life-long wants supply;
As living souls are fed,
O feed me, or I die!
3 Thou true life-giving Vine,
Let me thy sweetness prove;
Renew my life with Thine,
Refresh my soul with love.
4 Rough paths my feet have trod,
Since first the course began;
Feed me, thou Bread of God;
Help me, thou Son of Man.
5 For still the desert lies
My thirsting soul before;
Oh, living Waters, rise
Within me evermore!
Amen.
