Pilgrim by means of this barren land.

Maintain me with Thy highly effective hand.
Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven,
Feed me until I need no extra;

Feed me with the heavenly manna
On this barren wilderness;
Be my sword and protect and banner;
Be my gown of righteousness.
Struggle and conquer, combat and conquer
All my foes by sovereign grace,

Open now the crystal fountain
Whence the therapeutic stream doth circulation;
Let the hearth and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey by means of.
Sturdy Deliverer, robust Deliverer,
Be Thou nonetheless my power and protect;

Lord, I belief Thy mighty energy;
Wondrous are Thy works of outdated;
Thou ship’st Thine from thralldom,
Who for naught themselves had bought.

Once I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Demise of deaths and hell’s destruction,
Land me secure on Canaan’s facet.
Songs of praises, songs of praises
I’ll ever give to Thee,

Musing on my habitation,
Musing on my heav’nly residence
Fills my soul with holy longings:
Come, my Jesus, shortly come.
Self-importance is all I see;
Lord, I lengthy to be with Thee!
Lord, I lengthy to be with Thee!
