Hymn Lent Series - Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah

This hymn acknowledges the reality of suffering, weakness and anxiety we all face, but reminds me to cling to God for strength, guidance and security.

If you know the tune, you can't help but imagine the sound of the pipe organ, trumpets and chorus of angels singing for this one!

Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah

Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,
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.

Open thou the crystal fountain
Whence the healing stream shall flow;
Let the fiery, 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.
