GUIDE ME, OH THOU GREAT JEHOVAH
Guide me, O, Thou Great Jehovuh,
Pilgrim's through this barren land;
I am weuh, but Thou ure mighty,
HoId me with Thy powedal hund
Breud of Heuven, Bread of Heaven,
Feed me 'till I want no more.
Open Thou the crystalfountuin,
Whencethe healing streams dotlow;
Let the jlry cloudy pillar
Leud me all my journey through.
Strong deliverer, strong deliverer
Be Thou still my strength and shield.
Feed me with the heavenlymanna,
In this barren wilderness:
Be my sword, and shield, snd banner
Be my robe of righteoasness.
Fight and conquer,fight and conquer,
AII my foes by sovereigngrsce.
When I tread the verge of Jordon,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Desth of deaths, and hell's destruction,
Land me safe on Canaun's side.
Sangs of praises, songs of praises,
I will ever give to thee.
