Gardiner Sisters Lead Kindly Light song lyrics

Lead, kindly Light, amid th'encircling gloom;

Lead thou me on!

The night is dark, and I am far from home;

Lead thou me on!

Ooh, ooh

I was not ever thus, nor pray'd that thou

Shouldst lead me on.

I loved to choose and see my path; but now,

Lead thou me on!

Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see

The distant scene--one step enough for me

Ooh, ooh

So long thy pow'r hath blest 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

Awhile

Ooh

Ooh
