Guide me, O thou great Jehovah

 

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

 

Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,

Pilgrim through this barren land;

I am weak, but thou art mighty,

Hold me with thy powerful hand:

Bread of heaven,

Feed me till I want no more.

 

Open now the crystal fountain

Whence the healing stream doth flow;

Let the fire and cloudy pillar

Lead me all my journey through:

Strong deliverer,

Be thou still my strength and shield.

 

When I tread the verge of Jordan,

Bid my anxious fears subside:

Death of death, and hell's destruction

Land me safe on Canaan's side:

Songs of praises

I will ever give to thee.

 

 

NB The first line of the first verse is sometimes given as Guide me, O thou great Redeemer
