Weekly Broxton News Letter
By Mrs. B. M. Poer
LEAD, KINDLY LIGHT
Lead, kindly Light, amid the en
circling 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 distance scene—one step
enough for me.
1 was not ever thus, nor prayed
that ThOu
Shouldst lead me oa.
I loved to chose 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.
So long Thy power hath blessed 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 a while.
t
—John Henry Newman.
