Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah

G       C    G                    G/D D
Guide me, O Thou great Je-ho-vah,
G        Am7           G/D D7 G
Pilgrim through this bar-ren land.
G C  G                         G/D    D
I am weak, but Thou art might-y;
G     C/E G/B  C6   G/D     D  G
Hold me  with Thy power-ful hand.
D7                    G
Bread of Heaven, Bread of Heaven,
G                            D
Feed me till I want no more;
G               C6 G/D   D7 G
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.

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.

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.

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!
