264. Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah

1 Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
pilgrim through this barren land.
I am weak, but Thou are mighty;
hold me with Thy pow'rful hand.
Bread of heaven,
Bread of heaven,
feed me till I want no more;
feed me till I want no more.

2 Open now the crystal fountain,
whence the healing stream doth flow.
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
lead me all my journey through.
Strong Deliv'rer,
strong Deliv'rer,
be Thou still my Strength and Shield;
be Thou still my Strength and Shield.

3 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,
songs of praises,
I will ever give to Thee;
I will ever give to Thee.
