Mark 8:2, 3: I Still with bowels of compassion

I Still with bowels of compassion
Jesus Thy disciples see,
Hungering after Thy salvation
Perishing for want of Thee,
Thee, the Bread come down from heaven,
Thee the true angelic food.
Manna to Thy people given.
Life, and plenitude of God.

Sin's immeasurable distance
God and us no longer parts:
By Thy merciful assistance
Lo, we bring to Thee our hearts:
Empty while Thy love is wanting.
For Thine only love we pine;
Feed us, Lord, distress'd and fainting.
Be our sustenance Divine.
