Author: William Williams, 1717-1791; Peter Williams, 1722-1796 Hymnal: Hymns for a Pilgrim People #432 (2007) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but Thou art mighty;
Hold me with Thy pow'rful 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.
Amen. Topics: Close of Worship / Sending Forth; Guidance; New Year; Pilgrim / Pilgrimage; Providence; Provision and Deliverance; Encouragement Scripture: Isaiah 58:11 Languages: English Tune Title: CWM RHONDDA
