Lyrics:
1. Guide me, O Tthou 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 Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
Be Thou still my Strength and Shield; Be Thou still my Strength and Shield.
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.
4. 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.
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!
