Lead, kindly light, amid the encircling gloom

Author: John Henry Newman, 1801-90 Meter: 10.4.10.4.10.10 Appears in 1,225 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 119:103-106 Lyrics: 1 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. 2 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. 3 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.
