Lead, Kindly Light

Lead, kindly light, amidst the grey and gloom
 The night is long and I am far from home
 Here in the dark, I do not ask to see
 The path ahead--one step enough for me
 Lead on, lead on, kindly light.
 I was not ever willing to be led
 I could have stayed, but I ran instead
 In spite of fear, I followed my pride
 My eyes could see, but my heart was blind
 Lead on, lead on, kindly light.
 And in the night, when I was afraid
 Your feet beside my own on the way
 Each stumbling step where other men have trod
 shortens the road leading home to my God
 Lead on, lead on,
 my God, my God,
 lead on, lead on, kindly light.
