Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #40 (1972) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Hungry, and faint, and poor,
Behold us, Lord, again
Assembled at Thy mercy's door,
Thy bounty to obtain.
2 Thy word invites us nigh,
Or we would starve indeed;
For we no money have to buy,
Nor righteousness to plead.
3 The food our spirits want,
Thy hand alone can give;
O hear the prayer of faith, and grant
That we may eat and live! Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Prayer Scripture: James 5:16 Languages: English Tune Title: BOYLSTON
