| | supply; |
| | All that I need is none other but Thee, |
| | Thou canst my hunger and thirst |
| | satisfy. |
| | Feed me, Lord Jesus, give me to |
| | drink, |
| | Fill all my hunger, quench all my |
| | thirst; |
| | Flood me with joy, be the strength |
| | of my life, |

| | thirst. |

| | prayer. |

| | me; |
| | Thou as the food, my exaustless |
| | supply, |
| | Thou as the water, a stream unto me. |

| | Thus by the Word I may feed upon |
| | Thee; |
| | Thou dost as Spirit in my spirit live, |
| | Thus I may drink in the spirit of Thee. |
| 6. | Now to enjoy Thee I come to Thy |
| | Word, |
| | On Thee to feed till my hunger is o'er. |
| | Now in my spirit I turn unto Thee, |
| | Of Thee to drink till I'm thirsty no |
| | more. |
