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...A BALLAD OF TREES AND THE MASTER by SIDNEY LANIER FAREWELL OF A VIRGINIA SLAVE MOTHER TO HER DAUGHTERS SOLD INTO BONDAGE by JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER I HAVE PRAYED by JOHANNA AMBROSIUS THE FLOWER-GATHERERS by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN |
