Author: F. E. Belden Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 O blest are they who oft have said,
"I thirst for righteousness;
I hunger for the heavenly bread
With anguish and distress."
2 They of My fulness shall be fed,
For which they hungered sore;
And there, by living waters led,
Their souls shall thirst no more.
3 Because I am the Truth, the Life,
All fullness dwells in me;
They know no want, no sin, no strife,
Through all eternity.
4 How blessed, then, to share a part
With those that hunger here;
To have the panting, thirsty heart,
And shed the bitter tear!
5 O give me, Lord, the grace to know
And feel my need of thee;
To long for righteousness below
Till I thy fullness see. Topics: The Christian Godly Life Used With Tune: CADDO
