Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah

A Welsh classic which is still sung all around the world today. Written in Welsh by William Williams in 1745, and translated in Peter Williams a few years later, these words encourage us to keep going through our deserts, because we have a great Guide who is the Bread of Heaven and the Living Water. Amazing words!

1. 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, bread of heaven feed me till I want no more.
Feed me till I want no more.

2. 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

3. 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.
