Matthew 14:15: A Soul that hungers for the word
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
A Soul that hungers for the word,
Forgetful of the body's wants.
Stays in the presence of his Lord,
And follows Jesus till he faints.
And then the Bread of life receives.
And fill'd with Christ he truly lives.
