Verse 1
Guide me, O Thou great Je­ho­vah, (Ex. 15:13, Ps. 78:52)
Pilgrim through this bar­ren land. (Heb. 11:13)
I am weak, but Thou art migh­ty;
Hold me with Thy pow­er­ful hand. (Isa. 41:10, Ps. 73:23)
Bread of Heav­en, Bread of Heav­en, (Ex. 16:4, Neh. 9:15, Ps. 78:24, Ps. 105:40, John 6:31-35, John 6:41, John 6:50-51, John 6:58)
Feed me till I want no more; (John 6:31-35, John 6:50-51, Ps. 23:1)
Feed me till I want no more.

Verse 2
Open now the crys­tal fount­ain,
Whence the heal­ing stream doth flow; (Rev. 22:1-2, Ex. 17:6, Num. 20:11, Ezek. 47:1-9)
Let the fire and cloudy pil­lar
Lead me all my jour­ney through. (Ex. 13:22, Ex. 40:38, Num. 9:16, Num. 14:14, Deut. 1:33, Neh. 9:12, Neh. 9:19, Ps. 78:14)
Strong de­liv­er­er, strong de­liv­er­er,
Be Thou still my strength and shield; (Ps. 28:7)
Be Thou still my strength and shield.

Verse 3
Lord, I trust Thy migh­ty pow­er,
Wondrous are Thy works of old; (Ps. 40:5, Ps. 77:11-12, Ps. 78:4, Ps. 107:8, Ps. 107:15, Ps. 107:21, Ps. 107:31, Ps. 111:4, Ps. 119:27, Jer. 21:2, Acts 2:11)
Thou de­liv­er’st Thine from thrall­dom,
Who for naught them­selves had sold: {Isa. 52:3)
Thou didst con­quer, Thou didst con­quer,
Sin, and Sa­tan and the grave, (I Cor. 15:54-57, Heb. 2:14, I John 3:8, Rev. 1:18)
Sin, and Sa­tan and the grave.

Verse 4
When I tread the verge of Jor­dan, (Josh. 3:15-17)
Bid my anx­ious fears sub­side; (Ps. 23:4)
Death of deaths, and hell’s de­struct­ion, (Hosea 13:14)
Land me safe on Ca­naan’s side. (Josh. 4:23-24)
Songs of prais­es, songs of prais­es,
I will ev­er give to Thee; (Ps. 146:2)
I will ev­er give to Thee.

Verse 5
Musing on my ha­bi­ta­tion,
Musing on my heav’n­ly home, (John 14:2-3, II Cor. 5:1, Heb. 11:13-16)
Fills my soul with ho­ly long­ings:
Come, my Je­sus, quick­ly come; (Rev. 22:20)
Vanity is all I see; (Ecc. 1:2, Ecc. 1:14, Ecc. 2:17, Ecc. 3:19, Ecc. 12:8)
Lord, I long to be with Thee! (Phil. 1:23, II Cor. 5:8)
Lord, I long to be with Thee!
