LEAD, KINDLY LIGHT
Lead, Kindly Light,
Amid th’encircling gloom,
Lead Thou me on!
The night is dark,
And I am far from home;
Lead Thou me on!
Keep Thou my feet;
I do not ask to see, the distant scene;
One step enough for me.
I was not e-ver thus,
Nor prayed that Thou
Shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose, and see my path;
But now lead Thou me on!
I loved the garish day,
And, spite of fears, pride ruled my will.
Remember not past years!
Lead, Kindly Light,
Amid th’encircling gloom,
Lead Thou me on!
