  1. Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,
    Pilgrim though 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.

  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 Deliverer, strong Deliverer.
    Be thou still my Strength and Shield.

  3. When I tread the verge of Jordan,
    Bid my anxious fears subside;
    Bear me through the swelling current,
    Land me safe on Canaan's side;
    Songs of praises, songs of praises,
    I will ever give to thee. Amen.
