Christ My Song - 2040

I hunger and I thirst - Holy Communion
(John S. B. Monsell/Johannes Thomas Rüegg)

Holy Communion.

II.

"I am my Beloved's, and my Beloved is mine:
he feedeth me among the lilies." (Song of Solomon 6,3)

1. I hunger and I thirst,
  Jesus! my manna be,
ye living Waters! burst
  out of the Rock for me. PDF - Midi

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.

John S. B. Monsell, Hymns of Love and Praise, 1877, 128-129.
