My heart is hungry, my spirit doth thirst

My heart is hungry

my spirit doth thirst;

I come to Thee

Lord

to seek Thy supply;

All that I need is none other but Thee

Thou canst my hunger and thirst satisfy.

Feed me

Lord Jesus

give me to drink

Fill all my hunger

quench all my thirst;

Flood me with joy

be the strength of my life

Fill all my hunger

quench all my thirst.

Thou art the food and the water of life

Thou canst revive me

my spirit upbear;

I long to eat and to drink here of Thee

Thyself enjoy through my reading and prayer.

Thou art the Word with God’s fulness in Thee

Thou too the Spirit that God my life be;

Thee in the Word I enjoy as my food

Thou as the Spirit art water to me.

Thou from the heavens as food camest down

Thou to be drink hast been smitten for me;

Thou as the food

my exhaustless supply

Thou as the water

a stream unto me.

Thou in the Word art the Spirit and life

Thus by the Word I may feed upon Thee;

Thou dost as Spirit in my spirit live

Thus I may drink in the spirit of Thee.

Now to enjoy Thee I come to Thy Word

On Thee to feed till my hunger is o’er.

Now in my spirit I turn unto Thee

Of Thee to drink till I’m thirsty no more.

Feeding and drinking

Lord Jesus

of Thee

Feeding by reading

and drinking by prayer;

Reading and praying

I eat and I drink

Praying and reading—Lord

Thou art my fare.

Here

O my Lord

may I feast upon Thee;

Flood with Thy Spirit and fill by Thy Word;

May

Lord

Thou be such a feast unto me

As man hath never enjoyed nor e’er heard.
