Hungry, and faint, and poor,
by John Newton·1779·Meter 6.6.8.6 (SM)
1
Hungry, and faint, and poor,
Behold us, LORD, again
Assembled at thy mercies door,
Thy bounty to obtain.
2
Thy word invites us nigh
Or we must starve indeed;
For we no money have to buy,
No righteousness to plead.
3
The food our spirits want
Thy hand alone can give;
Oh, hear the prayer of faith, and grant
That we may eat, and live.
