I Hunger and I Thirst

lyricist: John Monsell, 1866
Composer: Bertram Luard-Selby, 1904

I hun­ger and I thirst

Jesu

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

O feed me

or I die.

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.

For still the des­ert lies

My thirst­ing soul be­fore;

O liv­ing wa­ters

rise

Within me ev­er­more.
