Lead, Kindly Light - Leontyne Price (李奧汀·普萊絲)/George Decker/Choir of Men and Boys of St. Thomas Episcopal Church, New York City/John B. Dykes/Phoebe Knapp/New York St. Thomas Choir of Men and Boys

Written by:John Henry Newman/John B. Dykes

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

I was not ever thus nor prayed that thou should st 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

So long thy power hath ablest 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
