Guide me, O thou great Jehovah

by William Williams

Representative text

As printed in The Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal (1985), no. 538.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.
