LEAD KINDLY LIGHT
[Words by John Henry Newman in 1833; (4th verse by Edward H. Bickersteth, Jr.). Music by John B. Dykes in 1865].


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!
Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene; one step enough for me.

Only the first verse of this song speaks to me. Since at least my teen years, when I'm in need of encouragement, this is one of the songs that I sing to myself.

The complete lyrics for this hymn can be found on a number of websites, including http://www.hymns.me.uk/lead-kindly-light-favorite-hymn.htm.
