LEAD THOU ME ON.

SEND kindly light amid th'encircling gloom, And lead 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.
I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou Should'st lead me on. I loved to choose and see my path; but now Lead thou me on! I loved day's dazzling light, and spite of fears, Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years!
So long thy power hath blessed me, surely still 'Twill lead me on,— Thro' dreary doubt, thro' pain and sorrow, till The night is gone, And with the morn those angel faces smile, Which I have longed to see, the dreary while.
