Pilgrim through this barren land;

Hold me with Thy pow'rful hand;

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 Deliv'rer, strong Deliv'rer,
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;

I will ever give to Thee,
I will ever give to Thee. Scripture: Isaiah 58:11 Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA
