[Verse 1]
             G              C          G
Lead, kindly Light, amid th'encircling gloom;

             D7
Lead thou me on!

             G              C        G
The night is dark, and I am far from home;

     D7      G
Lead thou me on!

     D7              A7            D7
Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see

G           C               G         D7  G
The distant scene--one step enough for me.
[Verse 2]
          G              C           G
I was not ever thus, nor pray'd that thou

                 D7
Shouldst lead me on.

           G                 C         G
I loved to choose and see my path; but now,

      D7     G
Lead thou me on!

  D7                A7                D7
I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears,

G              C              G        D7  G
Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years.
[Verse 3]
            G                    C       G
So long thy pow'r hath blest me, sure it still

             D7
Will lead me on

               G                 C        G
O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent, till

     D7      G
The night is gone.

    D7                   A7          D7
And with the morn those angel faces smile,

G            C                     G     D7  G
Which I have loved long since, and lost awhile!
