Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer

"Guide Me O Thou Great Redeemer", sung by the Choir of the Morriston Tabernacle Swansea Wales (Public Domain). A great hymn by William and Peter Williams.

Guide me O Thou great Redeemer
Pilgrim through this barren land.
I am weak but Thou art mighty
Hold me with thy powerful hand.
Bread of heaven
Feed me now and evermore

Open now the crystal fountain
Whence the healing streams do flow,
Let the fiery cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey though,
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
I will ever give to thee.
Songs of praises
I will ever give to thee.

I also blogged about this hymn. See http://georgeamarcelo.wordpress.com/2009/04/11/guide-me-o-thou-great-redeemer/

Love this hymn. We had it an my Granddad's funeral. The Vicar tried to stop us because he thought it wasn't suitable for a funeral, but we insisted.

This is a lovely version - gorgeous Welsh accents! (I'm English so they seem really exotic to me0

@YoodellyHoo I love this hymn too! It is actually very suitable for a funeral service. It was the closing hymn to Princess Diana's funeral service at Westminster Abbey.

This is a great hymn. Only it in not sung by the Choir of the Morriston Tabernacle Swansea Wales. It was sung at the Morriston Tabernacle,however it was sung by many people attending the SONGS OF PRAISE event there in around 2004. You can see and hear the original if you cut and paste this into youtube...

Welsh Chapel Choir - Guide me O thou Great Redeemer - live Nov 2004

It can be heard in stereo at that address.

Songs of Praise should be credited for the sound track.

@YoodellyHoo It's perfect for a funeral. I want it played at mine. "Bread of Heaven/Feed me now and evermore."

[B21983]

@YoodellyHoo It was also sung at the funeral of Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.

This was one of the Hymns at my Mum's funeral the other being Jerusalem , had no problems with the choice from either the vicar or the crematorium .

I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. Tonight (March 13), I attended a Lent service at a local Lutheran Church. We sang this as the closing hymn. It is #618 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship.
