Hymn

ENGLISH LYRICS: Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah

Thou shalt guide me with Thy counsel and afterwards receive me unto glory. Ps. 73:24

1.  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! Bread of heaven!
    Feed me now and evermore.

2. Open Thou the crystal fountain,
    Whence the healing stream shall flow
    Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
    Lead me all my journey through:
    Strong Deliverer! Strong Deliverer!
    Be Thou still my help and shield.

3. When I tread the verge of Jordan,
    Bid my anxious fears subside;
    Death of deaths, and hell's destruction
    Land me safe on Canaan's side:
    Song of praises Song of praises
    I will ever give to Thee.

Amen.
