Hymn 359

Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah

OLIPHANT

Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim thru 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.

Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing waters flow;
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey thru;
Strong Deliv'rer,
Strong Deliv'rer,
Be Thou still my strength and shield,
Be Thou still my strength and shield.

When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Bear me thru the swelling current,
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.

Bread of heaven,

Strong Deliv'rer,

Songs of praises,
