Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but Thou art mighty ;
Hold me with Thy powerful hand
Bread of heaven,
Feed me till I want no more.
2 Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing waters flow ;
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar,
Lead me all my journey through :
Strong Deliverer,
Be Thou still my strength and shield.
3 When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside ;
Bear me through the swelling current,
Land me safe on Canaan's side :
Songs of praises
I will ever give to Thee !
