Hymn 493

I hunger and I thirst

Meter: 6.6.6.6.

Scripture: John 6:51

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 life-long wants supply;

As living souls are fed,

O feed me, or I die.

3

Thou, my life-giving Vine,

Let me Thy sweetness prove;

Renew my life with Thine,

Refresh my soul with love.

4

Rough paths my feet have trod,

Since first their course began;

Feed me, Thou Bread of God;

Help me, Thou Son of Man.

5

For still the desert lies

My thirsting soul before;

O living waters, rise

Within me evermore.
