Celebrating Grace Hymnal ‎#33

33. 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 powerful 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 Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
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:
bear me through the swelling current,
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.
