8.7.8.7 [148]St. Oswald: John B. Dykes, 1857 [149]Autumn: Francois H. Barthelomon, 1785 Welsh; William Williams, 1745; Tr. Peter Williams, 1772; alt. John Keble, 1857 Guide me, O thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land, I am weak, but thou art mighty; Hold me with thy powerful hand. Open now the crystal fountains Whence the living waters flow; Let the fiery, cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through. Feed me with the heavenly manna In this barren wilderness; Be my sword, and shield, and banner, Be the Lord my Righteousness. 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. Amen. |
