 1  My heart is hungry, my spirit doth thirst;

    I come to Thee, Lord, to seek Thy 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,

Fill all my hunger, quench all my thirst.

 

 2  Thou art the food and the water of life,

    Thou canst revive me, my spirit upbear;

    I long to eat and to drink here of Thee,

    Thyself enjoy through my reading and prayer.

 

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,

Fill all my hunger, quench all my thirst.

 

 3  Thou art the Word with God's fulness in Thee,

    Thou too the Spirit that God my life be;

    Thee in the Word I enjoy as my food,

    Thou as the Spirit art water to me.

 

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,

Fill all my hunger, quench all my thirst.

 

 4  Thou from the heavens as food camest down,

    Thou to be drink hast been smitten for me;

    Thou as the food, my exhaustless supply,

    Thou as the water, a stream unto me.

 

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,

Fill all my hunger, quench all my thirst.

 

 5  Thou in the Word art the Spirit and life,

    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.

 

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,

Fill all my hunger, quench all my thirst.

 

 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.

 

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,

Fill all my hunger, quench all my thirst.

 

 7  Feeding and drinking, Lord Jesus, of Thee,

    Feeding by reading, and drinking by prayer;

    Reading and praying, I eat and I drink,

    Praying and reading — Lord, Thou art my fare.

 

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,

Fill all my hunger, quench all my thirst.

 

 8  Here, O my Lord, may I feast upon Thee;

    Flood with Thy Spirit and fill by Thy Word;

    May, Lord, Thou be such a feast unto me

    As man hath never enjoyed nor e'er heard.

 

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,

Fill all my hunger, quench all my thirst.
