Guide Me, O Thou Great RedeemerText: P.W. Williams, 1727-1796
Music: J.hughes, 1873-1932 Guide me, O thou great Redeemer, 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 now and evermore, feed me now and evermore. Open now the crystal fountain, whence the healing stream doth flow; let the firey 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. 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 and praises, songs and praises, I will ever give to thee, I will ever give to thee. |
