Guide me, O thou great Redeemer
Tune "Cwm Rhondda" by John Hughes (1873–1932)
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,
Feed me now and evermore.
Open now the crystal fountain
Whence the healing stream doth flow;
Let the fiery cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through:
Strong deliverer,
Be thou still me 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 and praises
I will ever give to thee.
W. Wiliams (1717–91), Tr. P. and W. Williams
