The New Sabbath School Hosanna ‎#128

128. 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.
Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven,
Feed me till I want no more,
Feed me till I want no more.

2 Open thou the crystal fountain
Whence the healing waters flow;
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through;
Strong Deliverer,
Be thou still my strength and shield.

3 When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid the swelling stream divide;
Death of death, and hell's destruction,
Lead me safe on Canaan's side:
Songs of praises
I will ever give to thee.
