'Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah', Keyboards / Organ - Sanjeeb Sircar.

'Guide me O Thou Great Jehovah' is a popular hymn tune written by William Williams (1745), translated from the Welsh by Peter Williams (1771) and music by John Hughes (1905: tune: Cwm Rhondda). Played here on the keyboards / organ by Sanjeeb Sircar. The tune and hymn are often called Bread of Heaven because of a repeated line in this English translation.
This traditional Welsh hymn talks of our pilgrimage through life, asking God to provide for us, and bring us safely to heaven at the end of our lives. The images like 'barren land', 'fiery cloudy pillar', 'verge of Jordan' are all from the story of Moses leading the Hebrews from Egypt to the promised land. Related Scripture taken from Psalms 37, from the Holy Bible. 'If the Lord delights in a man’s way, he makes his steps firm; though he stumble he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand'. Text:

Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but thou art mighty;
Hold me with thy pow'rful hand;
Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven,
Feed me till I want no more.

Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing stream doth flow;
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through;
Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
Be thou still my Strength and Shield.

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.
