Words are by William Williams (1745)
translated from Welsh by Peter Williams:
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 now and evermore.
Open, Lord, the crystal fountain, whence the living waters flow;
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar guide me all my journey through;
Strong Deliv'rer, Strong Deliv'rer, be Thou still my strength and shield.
When I tread the verge of Jordan, bid my anxious fears subside;
Bear me through the swelling current, land me safe on Canaan's side.
Songs of praises, songs of praises I will ever give to Thee.
tenor - Ben Rogers-Petro
