The New Christian Hymnal ‎#296

296. Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah

1. Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim thro' this barren land;
I am weak, but Thou are mighty;
Hold me with Thy powr'ful hand:
Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven,
Feed me till I want no more.

2. Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing waters flow;
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through:
Strong Deliv'rer, Strong Deliv'rer,
Be Thou still my strength and shield.

3. When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Bear me thro' the swelling current,
Land me safe on Canaan's side:
Songs of praises, songs of praises,
I will ever give to Thee.
Amen.
