Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah
Author: William Williams Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 1,817 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 58:11 Lyrics: 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, Bread of heaven,
Feed me till I want no more,
Feed me till I want no more.
2. 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,
Be Thou still my strength and shield.
3. When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Bear me thro' the swelling current,
Land me safe on Canaan's side;
Songs of praises, songs of praises
I will ever give to Thee,
I will ever give to Thee. Used With Tune: CWM RHONDDA

and usher in the morning;
you shepherds, shrink not with affright,
but hear the angel's warning.

our confidence and joy shall be,
the power of Satan breaking,
our peace eternal making.
[ 2 This night of wonder, night of joy,
was born the Christ, our brother;
he comes, not mighty to destroy,
to bid us love each other.
How could he quit his kingly state
for such a world of greed and hate?
What deep humiliation
secured the world's salvation!
3 Come, dearest child, into our hearts,
and leave your crib behind you!
Let this be where the new life starts
for all who seek and find you.
To you be honor, thanks, and praise,
for all your gifts this time of grace:
come, conquer and deliver
this world, and us, forever.] Topics: Jesus Christ Self-humiliation; Christmas Season; Jesus Christ Self-humiliation; Satan Used With Tune: ERMUNTRE DICH

Author: Henry Scott Holland (1847-1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 108 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 58:6-12 Lyrics: 1 Judge Eternal, throned in splendour,
Lord of lords and King of kings,
with your living fire of judgement
purge this land of bitter things;
solace all its wide dominion
with the healing of your wings.
2 Still the weary folk are pining
for the hour that brings release;
and the city's crowded clangour
cries aloud for sin to cease;
and the homesteads and the woodlands
plead in silence for their peace.
3 Crown, O God, your own endeavour;
cleave our darkness with your sword;
feed the faithless and the hungry
with the richness of your word;
cleanse the body of this nation
through the glory of the Lord. Topics: Our Response to God in intercession and petition; The Church Celebrates National Life; God in judgement and justice; Nation and Society; Word of God Used With Tune: RHUDDLAN
Judge Eternal, throned in splendor
Oh, that I could repent! Oh, that I could believe!
Author: C. Wesley Appears in 87 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 58:6 Lyrics: 1 Oh, that I could repent!
Oh, that I could believe!
Thou, by thy voice, the marble rent,
The rock in sunder cleave!
Thou, by thy two-edge sword,
My soul and spirit part;
Strike with the hammer of thy word,
And break my stubborn heart.
2 Saviour, and Prince of peace,
The double grace bestow,
Unloose the bands of wickedness,
And let the captive go;
Grant me my sins to feel,
And then the load remove;
Wound, and pour in my wounds, to heal,
The balm of pardoning love.
3 For thine own mercy's sake,
The hindrance now remove,
And into thy protection take
The prisoner of thy love;
In every trying hour
Stand by my feeble soul,
And screen me from my nature's power,
Till thou hast made me whole.
4 This is thy will, I know,
That I should holy be,
Should let my sins this moment go,
This moment turn to thee:
Oh, might I now embrace
Thine all-sufficient power,
And nevermore to sin give place,
And never grieve thee more.
