Author: John Henry Newman, 1801-1890 Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #106a (2004) Meter: 10.4.10.4.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Lead, kindly light, amid the encircling gloom,
O lead me on;
the night is dark, and I am far from home;
O lead me on.
Keep firm my feet; I do not ask to see
the distant scene; one step enough for me.
2 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that You
should lead me on;
I loved to choose, and see my path; but now
O lead me on.
I loved the broader way, and, spite of fears,
pride ruled my will: remember not past years.
