Lyrics to the hymn, Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah

Do you see the opossum?





Introduction

Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write about hymns, instruments, recipes, and animals; I hope that I can answer any questions that you might have. 

A pretty fall day



The Subject At Hand


Today, we are looking at the lyrics to the hymn, Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah, by William Williams in 1745; somebody named Peter Williams translated it in 1771. 

If you don't know how the tune goes, I'll leave some links down below. 

Now, on with the show!

The Lyrics



Verse 1 

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, feed me 'til I want no more.

Bread of Heaven, feed me 'til I want no more.

Verse 2 

Open now the crystal fountain,

Whence the healing stream doth flow;

Let the fiery cloudy pillar 

Lead me all my journey through.

Strong Deliv'rer, be Thou still my strength and shield.

Strong Deliv'rer, be Thou still my strength and shield.

Verse 3 

Lord, I trust Thy mighty power,

Wondrous are Thy works of old;

Thou deliver'st Thine from thralldom,

Who for naught themselves had sold:

Thou didst conquer sin and Satan and the grave.

Thou didst conquer sin and Satan and the grave.

Verse 4 

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.

Songs of praises I will ever give to Thee.

(*Alternate: Death of death and hell's destruction.)

Afterwards

"Thou didst conquer sin and Satan and the grave."

Amen.

We have no fear of death if we trust in Jesus. What a blessed peace. 

If you aren't a Christian, all that you have to do is believe that Jesus is Lord and that He died for our sins and rose again. That is all. Please, trust in Jesus.

Lyrics to the hymn, This Is My Father's world

Introduction  Hello, and welcome to the Mother of Gooses blog, where I write the lyrics to hymns, and the occasional recipe. Today, the hymn we are looking at is called This Is My Father's World; it was written in 1901 by a Mr. Maltbie Davenport Babcock. It was originally a poem with sixteen verses, but when it was set to music, only three verses were chosen. A tree and a bush Someday I might do the whole poem, but today, I'm just going to do the three that I know. Let me know if you want me to do the whole poem. Go to YouTube and look up Folksandhymns to find the tune. Now, on with the show! The Lyrics  Verse 1 This is my Father's world; And to my listening ears, All nature sings  And 'round me rings  The music of the spheres. This is my Father's world;  I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, Of skies and seas. His hand the wonders wrought. Verse 2 This is my Father's world; The birds, their carols raise. The morning light,  The lily...

Or do you want a change from the regular buttercreams? Then I have reason to believe that you will be intrigued at least, in love at most with my mother’s Ermine frosting recipe.  It requires some stove time, very little butter and it tastes good.  Just follow my instructions carefully. Trust me, you don't want flour lumps.* *I will mention this again later*                                                           ...
