Fountainview Academy performs the classic hymn 'Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah,' a prayer for divine guidance through life's journey. The song acknowledges human weakness and God's strength, asking for provision, protection, and deliverance. It references biblical imagery like the pillar of cloud and fire, and the crossing of the Jordan, symbolizing God's faithfulness from the Exodus to the believer's final victory over death. The hymn expresses trust in God's power to conquer sin and Satan, and ends with a promise of eternal praise.

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.


Open now the crystal fountain,

Whence the healing stream doth flow;

Let the fire and cloudy pillar

Lead me all my journey through.

Strong Deliv?rer, strong Deliv?rer,

Be Thou still my Strength and Shield;

Be Thou still my Strength and Shield.


Lord, I trust Thy mighty power,

Wondrous are Thy works of old;

Thou deliver?st Thine from thralldom,

Who for naught themselves had sold:

Thou didst conquer, Thou didst conquer

Sin and Satan and the grave,

Sin and Satan and the grave.


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, songs of praises,

I will ever give to Thee;

I will ever give to Thee.
