Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land! I am weak, but Thou art mighty, Hold 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 death, and hell’s destruction, Land me safe on Canaan’s side! Songs of praises I will ever give to Thee.
