Representative Text

1 Passing, Lord, by vale and mountain,
Highway, byway, thro' the land,
Bringing wine from Calv'ry's fountain,
Bread from God's free-giving hand.

Chorus:
Feed me now, feed me now,
Jesus feed me--feed me now.

2 On, dear Lord, pursue thy mission
To the lost of Israel:
Yet, give ear to my petition,
Pitying Immanuel! [Chorus]

3 Wretched, wayworn, grief-o'ertaken,
Low at thy kind feet I bow,
Hungry, naked, blind, forsaken,
Jesus, feed me feed me now! [Chorus]
