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!
