Lead, kind -- ly Light, a -- mid th'en -- cir -- cling 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 dis -- tant scene,— one step enough for me.

I was not ev -- er 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 gar -- ish day, and, spite of fears
Pride ruled my will; re -- mem -- ber not past years.

\set stanza = #"3."
So long thy power hath blest me, sure it still
Will lead me on.
O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and tor -- rent, till
The night is gone;
And with the morn those an -- gel fa -- ces smile
Which I have loved long since, and lost a -- while.

- 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. - 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 rules 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 morn those angel faces smile
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile. Amen
