Hungering and Thirsting

I am hun­ger­ing

I am thirst­ing

For the full­ness of Thy love;

O my Sav­ior

look in fa­vor

Send Thy Spir­it from above;

Let me feel the quick­en­ing pow­er

And in rich­est mea­sure give

Grace that fits me for Thy serv­ice;

Let me to Thy glo­ry live.

I am weak­ness

ut­ter weak­ness

And Thy pro­mise I would claim;

Lord

to Thee in faith I’m look­ing

Trusting in Thy pre­cious name;

I would prove Thy pro­mise faith­ful

I would take the bless­ing now;

Help me

O my gra­cious mas­ter

While be­fore Thy throne I bow.

As a mo­ther

Thou dost com­fort

As a fa­ther pi­ty show;

Help me then to trust Thee ful­ly;

Life abun­dant­ly be­stow.

Like a migh­ty riv­er flow­ing

Let Thy peace fill all my heart;

At Thy feet

like lov­ing Ma­ry

I would choose the bet­ter part.

I will trust Thee

O my Sav­ior

I will take Thee at Thy word

And go on my way re­joic­ing

For I know my pray­er is heard.

When at last

my toil is ov­er

And I see Thee face to face

I shall wak­en in Thy like­ness

And ad­ore Thy match­less grace.
