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 must starve indeed;

For we no money have to buy

No righteousness to plead.



The food our spirits want,

Thy land alone can give;

O hear the prayer of faith, and grant

That we may eat and live.
