Today’s worship song focus :

Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah

Isaiah 58:11 (NASB95)     

And satisfy your desire in scorched places,

And give strength to your bones;

And you will be like a watered garden,

And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.”

Today’s hymn was written in 1745 by William Williams, originally in Welsh, and later translated into the song we know today. Williams was studying to be a doctor when he encountered the preaching of Howell Harris, which led to his conversion. It was then that he gave up his studies to seek his ordination in the Established Church. He used the beautiful imagery of the Old Testament book of Exodus to show God’s guidance and provision through the strife and how it continues today.

              Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land.

              I am week, but Thou art mighty, Hold me with Thy powerful hand.
