GUIDE ME O THOU GREAT REDEEMER

Guide me, O Thou great 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.

trans. Peter Williams (1723-1796)

GUIDE ME O THOU GREAT REDEEMER

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.

GUIDE ME O THOU GREAT REDEEMER

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.

GUIDE ME O THOU GREAT REDEEMER

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.

GUIDE ME O THOU GREAT REDEEMER

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!
