Lyics

Guide me, O thou great Jehovah, 

Pilgrim thro' this barren land;

I am weak, but thou art mighty, 

Hold me with thy powerful hand;

Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven,

Feed me till I want no more.



Open thou the crystal fountain

Whence the healing waters flow;

Let the fiery, cloudy pillar,

Lead me all my journey through;

Strong Deliverer,

Be thou still me strength and shield.



When I tread the verge of Jordan,

Bid the swelling stream divide;

Death of death, and hell's destruction,

Land me safe on Canaan's side!

Songs of praise

I will ever give to thee.
