LYRICS 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. Chorus 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
