Part V
"I thirst."

1 Jesus, in Thy thirst and pain,
While Thy wounds Thy life-blood drain,

Hear us, Holy Jesus.

2 Thirst for us in mercy still,
All Thy holy work fulfil,
Satisfy Thy loving will:

3 May we thirst Thy love to know;
Lead us in our sin and woe
Where the healing waters flow:
Hear us, Holy Jesus.

Amen.
