Sheet music
- 1Hungry, and faint, and poor,Behold us, Lord, againAssembled at Thy mercy’s door,Thy bounty to obtain.The word invites us nigh,Or we would starve indeed;For we no money have to buy,Nor righteousness to plead.
- 2The food our spirit want,Thy hand alone can give;O hear the prayer of faith, and grantThat we may eat and live!Here, by the fount we stay,Here eat this bread of Thine;Then go rejoicing on our way,Renewed with strength divine.
