<poem>
1. 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.
 
2. I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou
Shouldst lead me on;
I loved to choose, and see my path: but now
Lead Thou me on!
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,
Pride ruled my will: remember not past years!
 
3. 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.
</poem>
