Lead, Kindly Light

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



O lux aeterna, lead thou me on

O lux beata, lead, kindly light, lead me on

So long thy power has blest me, sure it still

Will lead me on



O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent 'til

The night is gone

And with the morn those angel faces smile

Which I have loved long since and lost a while



The night is dark and I am far from home

Lead Thou me home
