Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah – Lyrics

Lyrics for English Hymn: Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah

Verse 1:

Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah (or 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 till I want no more;

Feed me till I want no more.

Verse 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;

Be Thou still my Strength and Shield.

Verse 3:

Lord, I trust Thy mighty power, Wondrous are Thy works of old;

Thou deliver’st Thine from thralldom, Who for naught themselves had sold:

Thou didst conquer, Thou didst conquer, Sin, and Satan and the grave,

Sin, and Satan and the grave.

Verse 4:

When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside;

Death of deaths, 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.

Verse 5:

Musing on my habitation, Musing on my heav’nly home,

Fills my soul with holy longings: Come, my Jesus, quickly come;

Vanity is all I see; Lord, I long to be with Thee!

Lord, I long to be with Thee!
