Author: William Williams, 1717-1791 Hymnal: The Christian Hymnary. Bks. 1-4 #101 (1972) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7.4.7 Lyrics: 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;
Bread of heaven,
Feed me till I want no more;
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 thro';
Strong Deliv'rer,
Be Thou still my strength and shield;
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
I will ever give to Thee,
Songs of praises
I will ever give to Thee. Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; God Guidance of Scripture: Exodus 15:13 Languages: English Tune Title: ZION
Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah
