Lyrics
LEAD THOU ME ON
Chorus:
Lead thou me on
Lead thou me on
Lead thou me on
Lead thou me on
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.
Lead thou me on, lead thou me on.
Lead thou me on
Lead thou me on
Lead thou me on
Lead thou me on
I was not ever 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 thou me on, lead thou me on.
Lead thou me on
Lead thou me on
Lead thou me on
Lead thou me on
So long thy power hath blest me, and 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 angels faces smile,
Which I have loved long since and lost a while.
Lead thou me on, lead thou me on.
Chorus:
Lead thou me on
Lead thou me on
Lead thou me on
Lead thou me on
(from Public domain hymn "Lead kindly light")
Words by Cardinal John Henry Newman (1801-1890)
