Lyics

GUIDE us, O thou great Jehovah,

Pilgrims through this barren land;

We are weak, but thou art mighty:

Hold us by thy powerful hand:

Bread of heaven,

Feed us thus forevermore.



Open now the crystal fountain,

Whence the healing streams do flow;

Let the fiery, cloudy pillar

Lead us all our journey through:

Strong deliverer,

Be thou still our strength and shield.



When we tread the verge of Jordan,

Bid our anxious fears subside:

Bear us through the swelling current;

Land us safe on Canaan's side:

Songs of praises

We will ever give to thee.
