Lyics

Guide me, O thou great Messiah!

Pilgrim through this barren land;

I am weak but thou art mighty;

Hide me with thy powerful 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;

Death of deaths, and grave's destruction,

Land me safe on Canaan's side;

Songs of praises

I will ever give to thee.
