Hymn using same tune: #393 (Tune 1)

 

 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 lifelong 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 

For still the desert lies

   My thirsting soul before;

O living waters, rise

   Within me evermore.
