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. 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. 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. Musing on my habitation, Musing on my heavenly home, Fills my soul with holy longing: Come, my Jesus, quickly come; Vanity is all I see; Lord, I long to be with thee! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BATTLE HYMN OF THE RUSSIAN REPUBLIC by LOUIS UNTERMEYER THAT VAGRANT MISTRAL VEXING THE SUN: A FAR CRY by DARA WIER MOTTO TO THE SONGS OF INNOCENCE & OF EXPERIENCE by WILLIAM BLAKE IRELAND (1847) by DENIS FLORENCE MCCARTHY SONNET: 9 by EDNA ST.
