I hunger and I thirst
|
I hunger and I thirst: Jesu, my manna be; Ye living waters burst Out of the rock for me. Thou bruised and broken Bread, My life-long wants supply; As living souls are fed, O feed me, or I die. Thou true life-giving Vine, Let me thy sweetness prove; Renew my life with thine, Refresh my soul with love. Rough paths my feet have trod Since first their course began: Feed me, thou Bread of God; Help me, thou Son of Man. For still the desert lies My thirsting soul before: O living waters, rise Within me evermore. |
Sitis mihi et fames te, Iesu, flagitant ut Manna; latices e rupe profluant! Tu, Panis fracte, me dum vivam nutrias; ne moriar, ale, qui pascis animas. Vitis vivificans, da dulcitudines, amore recreans, ut vitam renoves. Laedunt viae truces ab initu pedem: Panis Divine, des, des, Homo Facte, opem. Per locum avium iturus sitio; fons intus laticum vivat perpetuo. |
