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, Be thou still my strength and shield. 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 I will ever give to thee. Words: William Williams (1717-91) trans. Peter Williams (1727-96) and others Tune: Cwm Rhondda John Hughes (1873-1932) arr. Simon Johnson (b.1975)
