Mark 8:6, 11: If we in Thy grace have tasted

If we in Thy grace have tasted
That imperishable Bread,
All our former strength is wasted,
Fresh supplies, Thou know'st, we need:
Lord we can hold out no longer,
Cannot live without Thy love:
Wilt Thou let us die for hunger,
Ere we reach our home above?

Comfort though Thou dost not give us
On the first, or second day,
Thou wilt on the third relieve us,
Us who for Thy blessing stay;
Patient, poor, and persevering.
Hungry if we still abide,
We shall at Thy late appearing
All be fiU'd and satisfied.
