Lyics

GUIDE 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 my anxious fears subside;

Bear me through the swelling current,

Land me safe on Canaan's side!

Songs of praises

I will ever give to Thee.
