1. 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.
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.
3. When I tread the verge of Jordan, bid my anxious fears subside; Bear me through the swellling current, 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.
