Lead, Kindly Light

Lead, Kindly Light (慈光引領) - The Mariners

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 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

So long thy power hath blest me

Sure it still

Will lead me on

Over moor and fen over 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
