Lead kindly light
Lead Thou me on
Till the darkness of the night
Is at long last gone
To the distant scene of heaven
On the path that leads me home
That I had once lost
But have loved for so long

The night is dark
And I am far from home
Keep my path safe
Leave me not alone
I do not ask to see
The future far above
One step's enough for me
In the light of Your love

I had never willed
That You should be my guide
I loved to choose my way
Ruled by selfish pride
I loved the garish day
Despite all my fears
But now I seek Your will
Look not upon those years
