I Know Thou Art With Me Wherever I Go Lyrics

Representative Text

ane Guide me, O my neat Redeemer,
pilgrim through this barren country;
I am weak, but yous are mighty;
agree me with your powerful hand.
Staff of life of sky, bread of heaven,
feed me now and evermore,
feed me at present and evermore.

2 Open now the crystal fountain,
where the healing waters period.
Let the fire and cloudy colonnade
lead me all my journey through.
Potent Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
ever exist my forcefulness and shield,
ever be my strength and shield.

3 When I tread the verge of Hashemite kingdom of jordan,
bid my anxious fears subside.
Death of death, and hell's Destruction,
land me prophylactic on Canaan's side.
Songs of praises, songs of praises
I will always sing to you,
I will ever sing to you.

Psalter Hymnal, (Grey)

Writer: William Williams

William Williams, called the "Watts of Wales," was born in 1717, at Cefn-y-coed, well-nigh Llandovery, Carmarthenshire. He originally studied medicine, but abandoned it for theology. He was ordained Deacon in the Church of England, just was refused Priest's Orders, and afterward attached himself to the Calvinistic Methodists. For one-half a century he travelled in Wales, preaching the Gospel. He died in 1791. Williams composed his hymns chiefly in the Welsh language; they are still largely used by various religious bodies in the principality. Many of his hymns take appeared in English, and have been collected and published past Sedgwick. His 2 principal poetical works are "Hosannah to the Son of David," and "Gloria in Excelsis." --Annotati… Go to person page >

The great circuit-riding preacher/poet William Williams (b. Cefn-y-Coed, Carmarthenshire, Wales, 1717; d. Pantycelyn, Carmarthenshire, 1791) wrote the original Welsh text "Arglwydd, arwain trwy'r anialwch"–"Lord, Lead Me Through the Wilderness." It was published in his Alleluia (1745) and in his Caniadau (1762) with the title, "A prayer for forcefulness to become through the wilderness of the world." Translated into some seventy-five languages, Williams's text has become universally popular in Christendom (and with the tune CWM RHONDDA, a favorite at Welsh rugby matches).

The English translation by Peter Williams (b. Llansadurnin, Carmarthanshire, Wales, 1722; d. Llandyfeilog, Wales, 1796), which began "Guide me, O 1000 bang-up Jehovah," was published in his Hymns on Various Subjects (1771). That offset stanza is still in use, just the remaining stanzas come from William Williams's own translation, which he prepared for The Collection of Hymns Sung in the Countess of Huntingdon'south Chapels (1771).

Pilgrimage is a much-used metaphor in Williams's texts. "Guide Me, O My Great Redeemer" draws on images from the Exodus story in the Sometime Testament: "bread of heaven" (Ex. 16), "crystal fountain" (Ex. 17), "fire and cloudy pillar" (Ex. 13:21-22). Merely the New Testament, Christocentric focus of the text is equally clear in the repeated final line of each stanza: Jesus is the "staff of life of heaven" (or "bread of life," (John half-dozen), the "rock" who is our "strength and shield" (1 Cor. x:4), and the victor over "expiry … and hell's destruction" (Rev. 1:18). Thus the alter from the original "Jehovah" of the showtime line to "Redeemer" makes eminent sense.

William Williams and Peter Williams were contemporaries with a similar background. William Williams is ordinarily considered to exist the greatest Welsh hymn writer of the eighteenth century. He had begun to set himself for a medical profession, but the course of his life was altered when he was influenced past the ministry of Howell Harris, an evangelist associated with George Whitefield. Williams began to study for the ministry and in 1740 was ordained a deacon in the Church building of England. After being refused ordination as a priest because of his evangelical beliefs, he joined the Calvinist Methodists in 1744. He became an itinerant evangelist and for the next forty-v years served as a leading figure in the revival movement in Wales. Williams's evangelistic preaching was greatly aided past his hymns, which were sung with great enthusiasm at revival and "guild" meetings. Known every bit the "sweet vocalist of Wales," he wrote most eight hundred hymn texts in Welsh and over one hundred in English. They were published in Alleluia (1744), Hosanna I Fab Dafydd (1754), Hosanna to the Son of David (1759), Y Moro Wydr (1762), and Gloria in Excelsis (1771).

Peter Williams was converted to Christianity past the preaching of George Whitefield and was ordained in the Church of England in 1744. His evangelical convictions before long fabricated him suspect, all the same, and he left the state church to join the Calvinist Methodists in 1746. He served as an afoot preacher for many years and was a primary figure in the Welsh revival of the eighteenth century. Afterward being expelled by the Methodists in 1791 on a accuse of heresy, he ministered in his own chapel during the last years of his life. He published the first Welsh Bible commentary (1767-1770) and a Bible concordance (1773); he was too ane of the annotators for John Canne'southward Welsh Bible (1790). In addition Williams published a Welsh hymnal, Rhai Hymnau ac Odlau Ysbrydol (1759), likewise every bit Hymns on Various Subjects (1771).

Liturgical Utilise:
As a hymn of pilgrimage and prayer for divine providence; for various services and occasions on the Christian journey, including Old/New Yr and the Easter flavor (given its Exodus theme).

=============================
Arglwydd arwain trwy'r anialwch. W. Williams. [Forcefulness to pass through the Wilderness.] This was published in the firstedition of the writer's Alleluia , Bristol, 1745, in 5 stanzas of 6 lines.
The starting time translation of a role of this hymn into English was by Peter Williams, in his Hymns on Various Subjects (vii.), Together with The Novice Instructed: Beingness an abstract of a letter written to a Friend. By the Rev. P. Williams, Carmarthen, 1771, Printed for the author.
W. Williams himself adopted the translation of stanzas i., ii., iii. and iv. into English, added a fourth stanza, and printed them as a leaflet as follows:—

"A Favourite Hymn,
sung by
Lady Huntingdon's Young Collegians.
Printed by the desire of many Christian friends.
Lord, give information technology Thy blessing!
i.
"Guide me, 0 Thou not bad Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this arid land;
I am weak, but Thou art mighty,
Concord me with Thy prisoner of war'rful hand:
Bread of sky, bread of sky,
Feed me till I want no more.

ii.
"Open now the chrystal fountain,
Whence the healing stream doth flow;
Permit the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey thro*:
Potent Deliv'rer, strong Deliv'rer,
Be Thou still my force and shield.

three.
"When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Death of deaths, and hell'south destruction,
Land me rubber on Canaan'south side:
I will always give to Thee.

iv.
"Musing on my dwelling,
Musing on my heav'nly abode,
Fills my soul with holy longings:
Come, my Jesus, quickly come;
Vanity is all I run across;
Lord, I long to be with Thee!"

This leaflet was undated, but was c. 1772. During the same or the following year, information technology was included in the Lady H. Collection, fifth edition, Bath, Westward. Gye, No. 94. Stanzas i.-iii. had previously appeared in The Collection of Hymns. sung in the Countess of Huntingdon's Chapels in Sussex. Edinburgh: Printed past A. Donaldson, for William Balcombe, Angmoring, Sussex, No. 202. This is undated; just Mr. Brooke's re-create contains the autograph, "Elizabt. Featherstonehaugh, 1772," the writing and ink of which show information technology to be 18-carat. We tin safely date it 1771. It was repeated in Yard. Whitefield'due south Psalms & Hymns, 1773; in Conyers, 1774, and others, until it has become one of the most extensively used hymns in the English language.
There are diversities of text in use the origin of which in every case it is hard to decide. The most widely known are:—
i. Where the 6th line in each stanza reads respectively, "Breadstuff of heaven," "Stiff deliverer," and "Songs of praises," the arrangement is from the Lady H. Drove, 1771. This course is given in nineteen out of every twenty hymnals which adopt the hymn, including Hymns Ancient & Modern &c.
2. Where the fifth line reads respectively, "Lord of Celebrity," "Strong deliverer," "Lord and Saviour," the text is from Cotterill's Pick, 1810 to 1819, where it is changed to the plural throughout.
3. Where the fifth line reads respectively, "Of Thy goodness," "Strong Deliverer," and "Grateful praises," the changes were made in Hall'southward Mitre, 1836.
4. The original, with the omission of lines 5 and half-dozen in each stanza, thereby reducing it to viii vii'due south, given in many American hymnals, appeared in the Prayer Book Collection, 1826.
In add-on to these there are altered texts, every bit follows:
5. Guide us, 0 Chiliad great Redeemer, in Morrell & How, 1854; Scottish Episcopal Hymn Book, 1858, and others.
6. Guide us, One thousand whose Name is Saviour. By J. Keble, re-written for the Salisbury Hymn Book, 1857, and repeated in the People'due south Hymnal, 1867, Sarum, 1868, the Hymnary, 1872, &c.
seven. Guide us, Jesu, Holy Saviour. In the Parish Hymn Book 1863-75. This is Keble'due south alteration of Williams, again altered.
8. Guide u.s., 0 Thou great Deliverer. In the English Hymnal, past J. A. Johnston, 2d ed., 1856, No. 167.
9. 0 Thou Great Jehovah, lead the states. This form of the text is in Kennedy, 1863, No. 639.
ten. Guide u.s., O eternal Saviour. In the Calcutta Hymn Volume, 1862, No. 102.

This hymn in one form or another has been rendered into many languages, but invariably from the English. These translations included the Rev. B. Bingham's rendering into Latin, "Magne tu, Jehova," of the 3 stanza arrangement, given with the English text, in his Hymnologia Christiana Latina, 1871.

CWM RHONDDA

The popularity of Williams's text ("Guide me, O grand great Jehovah") is undoubtedly aided by its association with CWM RHONDDA, composed in 1905 by John Hughes (b. Dowlais, Glamorganshire, Wales, 1873; d. Llantwit Fardre, Wales, 1932) during a church service for a Baptist Cymanfa Ganu (song festival)…
