the royal wedding- guide me O thou great redeemer

1.Guide 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, Bread of Heaven, Feed me till I want no more; Feed me till I want no more. 2.Open now the crystal fountain, Whence the healing stream doth flow; Let the fire and cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through. Strong Deliverer, Strong Deliverer, Be Thou still my Strength and Shield; Be Thou still my Strength and Shield. 3.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.

This is such a beautiful powerful hymn. The words, the melody - everything. Churches need to keep singing these old traditional songs.

The reason why this song was chosen to be the first hymn of the wedding was because this was the last hymn that was played at Princess Diana's Funeral...........

Princess Diana’s favorite hymn. What a beautiful tribute to her on that glorious day!

I love the little glimpse that we get of the Catholic Cardinal, the Orthodox Patriach, the Presbyterian Moderator, the Anglican Bishop and the Jewish Rabbi all singing "Guide me, O thou Great Redeemer" together.

I feel the heavens gates opening with this hymn, just lovely!

This beautiful old hymn, a reminder of what civilization owes to Christianity.Everything.

Magnificent descant on the last verse sung by the boy sopranos! This magnificent hymn needs to continue to be sung at every church so it is not forgotten!

Bless this place O Christ we pray and open here a door that no one can shut and grant that soon there will be one Church and one fold and one Shepherd.

The meaning of the lyrics, the power of the organ, the beauty of the choir is what is important here.  The descant.  The Most High God, he is full of majesty, power and beauty no matter which earthly nationality you are.

I can’t believe that this year it’ll have been ten years since Wills & Kate said ‘I Do’

Love the pipe Organ!! Sounds Majestic

I’ve listened to this song like 100 times

Apart from William no one one is singing this hymn with joy. As he knows the joy of the Lord is his strength. Amen

The same hymn was sang at my wedding,beautiful hymn all glory to God.

Beautiful old Welsh hymn. Love it.

I love this song! I'm Roman Catholic & I used to adore singing those rich sounding timeless hymns. This is new to me, but I have a recording of Princess Diana's funeral, which is how I first heard it. "I Vow to Thee My Country" was chosen for Prince William's wedding because it was his mom's favorite hymn. God bless William, Kate, Harry, Meghann & all the royal family.

Beautiful hymn, I almost share tears any time I hears it. Thank You Lord

This hymn came into my heart this morning,"may the Lord continue to guide you continually and satisfy your needs in a parched places." Isaiah 58:11 It was a favorite hymn as a born Catholic and still is when I reflect and meditate on the words.

I start my day with this hymn. I get guidance and I praise God. It was the hymn I chose for my procession as we went the altar when I got married.
