The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 ‎#414

414. Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah

1 Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim thro' this barren land,
I am weak, but Thou art mighty,
Hold me with Thy powerful hand.

2 Open now the crystal fountain
Whence the healing streams do flow;
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through.

3 Feed me with the heavenly manna
In this barren wilderness;
Be my sword, and shield, and banner,
Be the Lord my Righteousness.

4 When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fear subside;
Death of deaths, and hell's destruction,
Land me safe on Canaan's side.

Amen.
