Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah
Author: William Williams; Peter Williams; Wiliam Williams Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 1,817 hymnals Scripture: Joshua 4:7 Lyrics: 1 Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,
pilgrim through 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 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,
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,
I will ever give to thee.

Let Saints on Earth in Concert Sing
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 175 hymnals Scripture: Joshua 4:7 Lyrics: 1 Let saints on earth in concert sing
with those whose work is done,
for all the servants of the King
in earth and heav'n are one.
2 One family, we dwell in him,
one church above, beneath,
though now divided by the stream,
the narrow stream of death.
3 One army of the living God,
to his command we bow;
part of the host hast crossed the flood,
and part is crossing now.
4 E'en now to their eternal home
there pass some spirits blest,
while others to the margin come,
waiting their call to rest.
5 Jesus, be thou our constant guide;
then, when the word is giv'n,
bid Jordan's narrow stream divide,
and bring us safe to heav'n.

we join to thank you for the life remembered.

of the enrichment in the days behind us.
Your love has set us in the generations,
God of creation.

strongly recapture thoughts of resurrection.
You gave us Jesus to defeat our sadness
with Easter gladness.

into the presence of your own tomorrow;
give to your people for the day's affliction
your benediction. Used With Tune: CHRISTE SANCTORUM

Far Off I See the Goal
Author: Robert R. Roberts Meter: 6.5.6.5.6.6.6.5 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Joshua 4:9 Lyrics: 1 Far off I see the goal—-O Savior, guide me;
I feel my strength is small-—be thou beside me;
with vision ever clear, with love that conquers fear,
Aad grace to persevere, O Lord, provide me.
2 Whene’er thy way seems strange, go thou before me,
and, lest my heart should change, O Lord, watch o’er me;
but, should my faith prove frail, and I through blindness fail,
O let thy grace prevail, and still restore me.
3 Should earthly pleasures wane, and joy forsake me,
and lonely hours of pain at length o’ertake me;
my hand in thine hold fast till sorrow be o’erpast,
and gentle death at last for heaven awake me.
4 There, with the ransomed throng who praise forever
the love that made them strong to serve forever,
I, too, would seek thy face, thy finished work retrace,
and magnify thy grace, redeemed forever.

with the river in between us flowing. [Refrain]
