Guide Me, O Thou Great Eternal

An introduction will play then begin your Psalm.

Guide me, O Thou great Eternal, 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 Deliverer.  Strong Deliverer.  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.
