Author: Peter Williams (1722-1796); William Williams (1717-1791) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #167 (2008) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Scripture: Nehemiah 9:19-21 Lyrics: 1 Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,
pilgrim though 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 my want is o'er.
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.
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 give to thee.
