EVERLASTING. Pilgrimage. 822 SAFE GUIDE. (Lewes.) 8. 7. 8. 7. 8. 7. John Randall, 1790. 54 1. Guide me, O Thou great Je ho-vah, Pil-grim thro' this bar-ren land; 4 24 I am weak, but Thou art might-y; Hold me with Thy powerful hand; Bread of heav-en! Bread of heav-en! Feed me now and ever-more. 1. My life is but a pil-grim-age; A trav-'ler to my fa-ther-land, And gain-ing there my blest a - bode, Would ev-er sing His great salva- tion. My life is here a pil-grim-age, I'm trav'ling to my father - land. 2 The hours of life's uncertain day Haste on without a moment's stay, And, when once gone, are gone for ever; They bear me to eternity; Lord Jesus, give me eyes to see! Whate'er I need to know discover! Nor let earth's vain delusions hide Thee from my sight, my only Guide! 3 No journey is without its cares; Life's journey too the spirits wears; It is not all a path of roses, The road is narrow, foes are strong, And oft entice me to the wrong; The tangled thorn my way opposes; O'er trackless wilds I'm forced to go, And, groping, toil my passage through. |
