Lead kindly
light, amid the 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 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. |
|
| |
So
long Thy power hath blest 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 mom those angel faces smile
Which I have loved long since and lost awhile
Cardinal
Newman
