331. 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.
Thou bruised and broken Bread!
My life-long wants supply;
As living souls are fed,
Oh, feed me or I die.

2 Thou true life-giving Vine!
Let me Thy sweetness prove;
Renew my life with Thine,
Refresh my soul with love.
Rough paths my feet have trod,
Since first their course began;
Feed me, Thou Bread of God!
Help me, Thou Son of Man!

3 For still the desert lies
My thirsting soul before,
O Living Waters! rise
Within me evermore.
To Father, and to Son,
And Holy Ghost, to Thee,
Eternal Three in One,
Eternal glory be.

Amen.
