I Hunger and Thirst Written in Alfred, Maine (1837). Learned from the singing of Sister R. Mildred Barker on Rounder Select CD EARLY SHAKER SPIRITUALS. This version adapted, edited, and arranged (C) 2005 for The Good News-Goodtime Band by Susan O. Hinton.
A Part: I hunger and thirst, I hunger and thirst after true righteousness. In what I've obtained, in what I've obtained my soul cannot rest.
B Part: An ocean I see, without bottom or shore. O feed me I'm hungry, enrich me I'm poor. I will cry unto God, I never will cease, 'Til my soul's filled with love, love, perfect love and sweet peace.
