I Hunger And I Thirst [#IHunger #IThirst #HungerAndThirst #IHungerAndIThirst]

Original in English: John S. B. Monsell [John Samuel Bewley Monsell] (1811, Londonderry, UK – 1875, Guildford, UK)

1
I hunger and I thirst
Jesu 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 true 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
