Author: John Samuel Beweley Monsell, 1811-1875 Hymnal: The Book of Praise #198 (1997) Meter: 6.6.6.6 Topics: Thirst Lyrics: 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 wants supply;
as living souls are fed,
oh 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 Since first their course began,
rough paths my feet have trod.
Feed me, thou living bead;
help me, thou Son of God.
5 For still the desert lies
my thirsting soul before;
O living waters, rise
within me evermore. Scripture: John 4:7-15 Languages: English Tune Title: QUAM DILECTA
