I am weak, but thou art mighty; hold me with thy powerful hand.

Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah (Verse 2) 2. 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; (strength and shield) be thou still my strength and shield.

Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah (Verse 3) 3. 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 of praises, songs of praises, I will ever give to thee; Songs of praises, songs of praises, I will ever give to thee; (give to thee) I will ever give to thee.
