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
Deliv'rer, strong Deliv'rer, Be Thou still my Strength and Shield;
Be Thou still
my Strength and Shield.

Verse 3

Lord, I trust Thy mighty
power, Wondrous are Thy works of old;
Thou deliver'st Thine
from thralldom, Who for naught themselves had sold:
Thou didst conquer, Thou didst conquer, Sin, and Satan and the grave,
Sin, and Satan
and the grave.

Verse 4

When I tread the verge
of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside;
Death of deaths, 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.

Verse 5

Musing on my habitation, Musing on my heav'nly home,
Fills my soul with holy
longings: Come, my Jesus,
quickly come; Vanity is all I see;
Lord, I long to be with Thee!
Lord, I long
to be with Thee!
