The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook ‎#104

104. Guide me, O my great Redeemer

1 Guide me, O my great Redeemer,
pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but You are mighty,
hold me with Your powerful hand:
Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven,
feed me now and evermore!
feed me now and evermore!

2 Open now the crystal fountain,
where the healing waters flow;
let the fiery, cloudy pillar
lead me all my journey through:
strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
ever be my strength and shield,
ever be 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 sing to You,
I will ever sing to You.
