LyicsGuide me, O thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land:
I am weak, but thou art mighty.
Hold me with thy pow'rful hand;
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 Deliv'rer,
Be thou still my 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 praises
I will ever give to thee.
