L ead kindly light amid in encircling gloom

Lead kindly light amid in 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 distance scene

One step enough

For me

So long thy power hath bless 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 mourn

Those angel faces smile

Which I have loved long since

And lost awhile

Lead kindly light

Amid the encircling gloom
