430: I Hunger and I Thirst


1 I hunger and I thirst;
Jesus, my Manna be:
Ye living Waters, burst
Out of the rock for me.

2 Thou bruised and broken Bread,
My life-long needs 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 their course began;
Feed me, thou Bread of God;
Help me, thou Son of Man.

5 For still the desert lies
My thirsting soul before;
O living Waters, rise
Within me evermore!
