Pilgrim’s Prayer

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.

2. Open now the crystal fountain,
    Whence the healing stream do flow;
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar
    Lead me all my journey through.
Strong Deliverer! strong Deliverer!
    Be Thou still my Strength and Shield.

3. Feed me with the heav’nly manna,
    In this barren wilderness;
Be my sword, and shield, and banner—
    Be my robe of righteousness;
Fight and conquer, fight and conquer,
    All my foes by Sovereign grace!
