Hymns of the Lutheran Church

285 Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,

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 now and evermore. 2 Open now the crystal fountain, Whence the healing streams do flow; Let the fiery, cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through: Strong Deliverer, Be Thou still my strength and shield. 3 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, I will ever give to Thee.
