1Guide 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 till I want no more.
2Open now the crystal fountain,Whence the healing stream doth flow;Let the fire and cloudy pillarLead me all my journey through:Strong Deliverer,Be thou still my strength and shield.
3When 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 praisesI will ever give to thee.

Where it comes in the service
In a Church of England funeral hymns may be sung at any suitable point; the Church's own step-by-step guide places one once everyone has gathered and another after the prayers. At a Catholic funeral Mass there is an entrance song, Communion hymns and a closing hymn at the procession.

Put Guide Me, O Thou Great Redeemer in my bookletCopyright
Guide Me, O Thou Great Redeemer is in the public domain in the United States (English text published 1771; this printing 1906) and in the United Kingdom (William Williams died 1791, Peter Williams died 1796; the 1906 English Hymnal marks one line as altered by its editors without naming who made the change (an anonymous alteration published in 1906, so its 70-year term expired in 1976)), so the words can be printed in a booklet without permission or a fee.
