Lead Kindly Light

Lead, kindly Light, amidst the grey and gloom

The night is long and I am far from home

Here in the dark, I do not ask to see

The path ahead-one step enough for me

Lead on, lead on, kindly Light.

I was not ever willing to be led

I could have stayed, but I ran instead

In spite of fear, I followed my pride

My eyes could see, but my heart was blind

Lead on, lead on, kindly Light.

And in the night, when i was afraid

Your feet beside my own on the way

Each stumbling step where other men have trod

Shortens the road leading home to my God

Lead on, lead on,

My God, My God,

Lead on, lead on, kindly Light.
