Guide Me

Author: William Williams; Peter Williams Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 1,820 hymnals First Line: Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah Lyrics: 1 Guide me, O my great Redeemer, pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but you are mighty; hold me with your powerful hand. Bread of heaven, bread of heaven, feed me now and evermore, feed me now and evermore. 2 Open now the crystal fountain, where the healing waters flow. Let the fire and cloudy pillar lead me all my journey through. Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer, ever be my strength and shield, ever be 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 sing to you, I will ever sing to you.

O’er those gloomy hills of darkness, Look, my soul; be still, and gaze; All the promises do travail With a glorious day of grace: Blessèd jubilee! Let thy glorious morning dawn. 2. Let the Indian, let the Negro, Let the rude barbarian see That divine and glorious conquest Once obtained on Calvary; Let the Gospel, let the Gospel Loud resound from ole to pole. 3. Kingdoms wide that sit in darkness, Let them have the glorious light; And from eastern coast to western May the morning chase the night, And redemption, Freely purchased, win the day. 4. May the glorious day approaching, On their grossest darkness dawn, And the everlasting Gospel, Spread abroad Thy holy name, All the borders Of the great Immanuel’s land. 5. Fly abroad, thou mighty Gospel, Win and conquer, never cease; May thy lasting wide dominions Multiply and still increase; Sway thy scepter, Savior! all the world around. Used With Tune: WILDERSMOUTH

Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus, Teach me on Thine arm to lean; Teach me on Thine arm to lean. 3. O, for trust that brings the triumph When defeat seems strangely near; O, for faith that changes fighting Into vict’ry’s ringing cheer! Faith triumphant, faith triumphant, faith triumphant, Knowing not defeat nor fear; Knowing not defeat nor fear. 4. Faith triumphant— blessèd victory! Every barrier swept away. Heaven descending, joy and fullness, Dawn of everlasting day! Jesus only, Jesus only, Jesus only, Him to love and Him obey; Him to love and Him obey.

In their fall, as in their glory, May we see the Hand divine; Lamp of wisdom, Shine on every page and line. 3 As we search the field of learning, Let us sift as we pursue; By the higher light discerning What is false and what is true; Choosing rather Older truth than errors new.
