Lead, Kindly Light

Lead, kindly light, amid the
Enriching gloom, Lead thou me;
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 distance scene one step enough for me

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;
I loved the garish day, and spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will; remember not past years!

So long Thy power hath blessed me, sure it still
Will lead me on,
Oer moor and fen, oer crag and torrent, till
The right is gone
And with the morn those angel faces smile
Which I have loved long since, and lost a while
