Lyrics:

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

I am reading Corrie Ten Boom’s wonderful book the hiding place. They have just arrived at Ravensbrook concentration camp and her sister had started singing this beautiful hymn. All the women started singing with them. So moving. Thank you Jesus.

Such a lovely rendition of such a wonderful olde hymn...a deep great comfort to me, The Presence that goes before!

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 pray’d 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!

I was depressed, I came across this and your voice has made my sadness go away. Thank you so much.

Just now a spiritual breakthrough! So true, our Father God’s arms are🎉 always open to each of us/me. I now had breakthrough…a generational lie, my/our fathers/mothers not there for us & that I know bc my father didn’t always have a loving mother & she wasn’t there for him; his mother had favorites, & that dynamic played out in our family. That lie prevented us/me my siblings from running to Heavenly Father. Not true, no longer true, glorious break through 😊BUT GOD!

MY PRECIOUS FATHER GOD, LEAD ON, LEAD ON😊❤HALLELUJAH!

Audrey, so blessed by this rendition of Newman's hymn. The Father's arms are always open. There's no place like home.

I remember reading this beautiful poem by Saint John Henry Newman in my school Truly inspiring in the darkest moments of ones life. This hymn was one of the favorites of Mahatma Gandhi. Love from India 🇮🇳
