Scripture1 Corinthians 10:1-4 (v.1); John 15:1-11 (v.3); John 4:7-15 (v.1-2); John 6:35 (v.1-2); John 7:37 (v.1-2)

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,
oh feed me, or I die.

3. Thou true lifegiving vine,
let me thy sweetness prove;
renew my life with thine;
refresh my soul with love.

4. Since first their course began,
rough paths my feet have trod.
Feed me, thou living bread;
help me, thou Son of God.

5. For still the desert lies
my thirsting soul before;
O living waters, rise
within me evermore.
