William Williams John Hughes The hymn was written over 100 years before the Welsh Revival of the early 1900's. The happy combination of the old words with John Hughes' new melody soon made this hymn one of the best known Welsh hymns ever. It still is. The change in the first line from "Jehovah" to "Redeemer" has not been universally accepted. Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah Pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but Thou art mighty, Hold me with Thy powerful hand: Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven, Feed me now and evermore, Feed me now and evermore.   Open Thou the crystal fountain Whence the healing stream doth flow; Let the fiery, cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through: Strong De

Song Study 14: Jesus Lover of My Soul

SONG STUDY (14)  JESUS LOVER OF MY SOUL This song was written by  Charles Wesley  in 1740 soon after his conversion. It has been sung to many tunes and in turn has been the inspiration of other great songs. 1 Jesus lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high: Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide; O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none, Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Leave, ah! leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me: All my trust on Thee is stayed; All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenceless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want; More than all in Thee I find; Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy name, I am all unrighteousness; False and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 4  P lenteous grace with Thee is found; Grace to cover all my sin; Let the h
