1 Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim thro’ this barren land;
I am weak, but Thou art mighty;
Hold me with Thy pow’rful hand.
Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing stream doth flow;
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar,
Lead me all my journey thro,
Lead me all my journey thro.
2 Feed me with the Heav’nly manna
In this barren wilderness;
Be my sword, and shield, and banner,
Be the Lord, my righteousness.
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,
Land me safe on Canaan’s side.
