HYMN 40.

Guide us, O Thou great Jehovah!
Pilgrims thro' this barren land;
We are weak, but Thou art mighty,
Hold us with Thy powerful hand;
Bread of Heaven, Bread of Heaven,
Feed us till we want no more.

Open Thou the living fountain,
Whence the healing waters flow;
Let the fiery cloudy pillar
Lead us all our journey through;
Strong Deliv'rer, strong Deliv'rer,
Be Thou still our strength and shield.

When we tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid our anxious fears subside;
Bear us thro' th' o'erwhelming torrent,
Land us safe on Canaan's side;
Songs of praises, songs of praises,
We will ever give to Thee.
