I'm playing this lovely hymn for church this Sunday, and as I was practicing this afternoon, I realized that I'd forgotten how much I love the words. May this encourage you today!
"Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah"
by William Williams, 1745
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.
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.
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.
