The Lord’s Supper · Hymn 229 · 6.6.6.6

I hunger and I thirst

“The bread that I will give is my flesh, for the life the world”. John 6:51

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

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

With me evermore.

Amen
