Lead On, Kindly Light

lead, kindly light

amidst the gray and gloom

the night is long

and i'm far from home

 here in the dark

i dare 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 lead

i could have stayed 

but i ran instead

in spight of fear

i followed my pride

my eyes could see

but my heart was blind

lead, lead on, kindly light

and in the night

when i was afraid

your feet beside 

my own on the way

and each stumbling step

where other men have trod

shortens the road

leading home to my God

lead on, lead on, kindly light
