Verse 2
I am weak, but Thou art mighty;
Hold me with Thy pow'r-ful hand;Lead me to thy cloudy pil-lar,Lead me all my jour-ney through.Bear me thro' the swelling cur-rent,Land me safe on Ca-naan's side.
Verse 1
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,
Feed me till I want no more.

Verse 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,
Be Thou still my strength and shield.
Verse 1
Guide me, O thou great Jehovah! Pilgrimthro' this barren land; Oye pen new by thy fountainWhence the healing wa-ters flow; WhenI tread the verge of Jordan,Bid my anx-ious fears sub-side;
Verse 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,
I will ever give to Thee.
Refrain
Bread of heav-en, bread of heav-en, Feed me till I want no more,
Strong De-liv-'rer, strong De-liv-'rer, Be thou still my strength and shield,
Songs of prais-es, songs of prais-es, I will ev-er give to thee,
Feed me till I want no more, want no more; Feed me till I want no more.
Be thou still my strength and shield,strength and shield; Be thou still my strength and shield.
I will ev-er give to thee, give to thee; I will ev-er give to thee.
