SUBJECT: STUDY OF THE WORD—FEEDING ON THE WORD
METER: 10.10.10.10. with chorus.
AUTHOR: Witness Lee
COMPOSER: William J. Kirkpatrick

1My 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.
2Thou 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.
3Thou 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.
4Thou 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.
5Thou 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.
6Now 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.
7Feeding 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.
8Here, 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.
