The Hymnal ‎#212a

212a. Guide us, O thou great Jehovah

1 Guide us, O thou great Jehovah,
Saints unto the promised land;
We are weak, but thou art able;
Hold us with they powerful hand.
Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit,
Feed us till the Savior comes;
Feed us till the Savior comes.

2 Open, Jesus, Zion's fountains;
Let her richest blessings come;
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
Guard us to that holy home.
Great Redeemer, Great Redeemer,
Bring, O bring the welcome day!
Bring, O bring the welcome day!

3 When the earth begins to tremble,
Bid our fearful thoughts be still;
When thy judgments spread destruction,
keep us safe on Zion's hill,
Singing praises, Singing praises,
Songs of glory unto thee,
Songs of glory unto thee.

Amen.
