Lyics

Hungry, and faint, and poor,

Behold us, Lord, again

Assembled at thy mercy's door,

Thy bounty to obtain.



Thy word invites us nigh,

Or we would starve indeed;

For we no money have to buy,

Nor righteousness to plead.



The food our spirits want,

Thy hand alone can give;

O! hear the pray'r of faith, and grant

That we may eat and live!
