Lead, Kindly Light! =================== w: John Henry Newman, 1833 m: John B. Dykes, 1865 Tune: Lux Beninga [Verse 1] 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. [Verse 2] I was not ever thus, nor pray'd 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. [Verse 3] So long Thy pow'r has blessed me, sure it still Will lead me on O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till The night is gone; And with the morn those angel faces smile, Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile!
