Text:Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah!
Tune:[Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah!]
Composer:Flotow

74. Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah!

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.
Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing stream doth flow;
Let the fire and 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.
