Guide me, O thou great Jehovah
|
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, Feed me now and evermore. Open now the crystal fountain Whence the healing stream doth flow Let the fiery cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through: Strong deliverer, Be thou still my strength and shield. 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 and praises I will ever give to thee. |
Hoc in tractu sitienti me, Jehovah, dirigas debilemque praevalenti dextera sustineas; Vive Panis, nunc et usque nutrias. Caesa rupes flumen edat salutare laticis; nubes ignis antecedat per quod est itineris; magne Vindex, robur et tutela sis. Ad Jordanem cum viator ibo, fac ne timeam; tutum me, necis necator, ripam fer ad alteram; tibi laudis usque carmina canam. |
