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
