"Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah"

This hymn was written by Welsh preacher William Williams (1717-1791), although it was the approximately 800 hymns he wrote in his native Welsh language for which he was famous. If you go here, you will find a brief history of the hymn, lyrics, a piano accompaniment of the tune, and a sketch of Williams.


"Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah"

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.

I decided to print only the first verse of the hymn this week. It, alone, is quite powerful. If you wish to see the other verses, go here.
