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. |

| 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 Gods 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 oer. |
| Now in my spirit I turn unto Thee, |
| Of Thee to drink till Im 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 eer heard. |
