Lyrics from A Collection of Sacred Hymns for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Europe, 1840

Hymn 228
8 7 8 7 4 7
1. Guide us, O thou great Jehovah,
Saints upon the promised land;
We are weak but thou art able,
Hold us with thy powerful hand:
Holy Spirit,
Feed us till the Saviour comes.

2. Open, Jesus, Zion's fountains:
Let her richest blessings come;
Let the fiery cloudy pillar
Guard us in this holy home.
Great Redeemer,
Bring, O bring the welcome day!

3. When the earth begins to tremble,
Bid our fearful thoughts be still;
When thy judgements spread destruction,
Keep us safe on Zion's hill,
Singing praises,
Songs of glory unto thee.
