Guide us, O Thou great Jehovah

1	Guide us, O Thou great Jehovah,
	Pilgrim through this barren land; 
	I am weak, but Thou art mighty; 
	Hold us with Thy powerful hand: 
	Bread of heaven, (2)
	Feed me now and evermore. (2)

2	Open wide  the living fountain, 
	Whence the healing waters flow; 
	Be Thyself our cloudy pillar 
	All the dreary desert through: 
	Strong Deliv'rer, (2)
	Be Thou still our strength and shield. (2)

3	While we tread this vale of sorrow,
	May we in Thy love abide;
	Keep us, O our gracious Saviour!
	Cleaving closely to Thy side:
	Still relying (2)
	On our Father’s changeless love.(2)

4	Saviour, come! We long to see Thee,
	Long to dwell with Thee above;
	And to know, in full communion,
	All the sweetness of Thy love:
	Come, Lord Jesus! (2)
	Take Thy waiting people home.(2)
