OHT Incipit:  

Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but thou art mighty;
Hold me with Thy pow'rful hand.
Bread of heaven,
Bread of heaven,
Feed me till I want no more,
Feed me till I want no more.

Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing waters flow;
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through.
Strong Deliv'rer,
Strong Deliv'rer,
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;
Bear me thro' the swelling current;
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.

Care and doubting, gloom and sorrow,
Fear and shame are mine no more;
Faith knows not of dark tomorrow,
For my Savior goes before;
Songs of praises,
Songs of praises,
I will ever give to Thee,
I will ever give to Thee.
