I hunger and I thirst;

Mo nkebi on ongbẹ

English Yorùbá
Meter 6.6.6.6 Idapo Mimo
  1. I hunger and I thirst;
    Jesus, my manna be:
    Ye living waters, burst
    Out of the rock for me.

  2. Thou bruised and broken Bread,
    My life-long wants supply;
    As living souls are fed,
    O feed me, or I die.

  3. Thou true life-giving Vine,
    Let me Thy sweetness prove;
    Renew my life with Thine,
    Refresh my soul with love.

  4. Rough paths my feet have trod,
    Since first their course began;
    Feed me, Thou Bread of God;
    Help me, Thou Son of Man.

  5. For still the desert lies
    My thirsting soul before;
    O living waters, rise
    Within me evermore. Amen.
