Lead, Kindly Light

Lead

Kindly Light

Words by John Henry Newman

Music by Robert Prizeman(MCPS)

Solo:Jakob De Menezes-Wood

Verse 1

Lead

kindly light amid the 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

Chorus

O lux aeterna

lead thou me on

O lux beata

lead

kindly light

lead me on

Verse 2

So long thy power has blest me

sure it still

Will lead me on

O’er moor and fen

o’er crag and torrent ‘til

The night is gone

And with the morn those angel faces smile

Which I have loved long since and lost a while

Bridge

The night is dark and I am far from home

Lead Thou me home
