Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah - story behind the hymn

A Welsh classic which is still sung all around the world today. Written in Welsh by William Williams in 1745, and translated in Peter Williams a few years later, these words encourage us to keep going through our deserts, because we have a great Guide who is the Bread of Heaven and the Living Water.

Guide me, O thou great Redeemer, 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. 2. Open thou the crystal fountain, whence the healing stream shall flow; Let the fiery, 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 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.
