Author: John Henry Newman, 1801-90 Meter: 10.4.10.4.10.10 Appears in 1,224 hymnals Scripture: John 1:1-9 Lyrics: 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.
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 power 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.

our Saviour has begun
to catch them in a web of love
and weave them into one,
and weave them into one.

till all the world can see
that Jesus is the first and last,
the keystone and the key,

I found in him a resting place,
And he has made me glad.

"Behold, I freely give
The living water; thirsty one,
Stoop down and drink and live."
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in him.

"I am this dark world’s light;
Look unto me, your morn shall rise,
And all your day be bright."
I looked to Jesus, and I found
In him my star, my sun;
And in that light of life I’ll walk
Till trav'ling days are done.

As stars adorn the night-veiled sky

arrayed like jewels rare and bright,
so shine God's saints in every age
to give the world new hop, new light.

but shines through them as gift and sign:
to show how God can use and bless
frail human means for ends divine.
Through saints we glimpse the light of Christ,
the Morning Star that crowns the night,
whose rising heralds God's new day,
the promised dawn of life and light.
4 That light is ours to claim and share,
not merely praise or gaze upon:
for all who are baptized become
light-bearers through the Risen One.

our holy calling to embrace:
to bear Christ's light in our own day,
to be the vessels of God's grace. Topics: The Church Celebrates Oneness with the Church in Heaven; Communion of Saints; Jesus Names and images for; Light Used With Tune: WAREHAM
