Lead On, Lead On Lyrics

[Verse 1: Emma Townend]
Lead on, lead on, O kindly Light
Amid th' encircling gloom
Though far from home in the darkest of night
Still, You will lead me on
The distant scene, the path before me
I do not ask to see
But guard my feet o'er mountain and valley
One step sufficient for me

[Verse 2: Emma Townend & Stuart Townend]
'Lead on, lead on' not always my prayer
When pride embittered my soul
My heart's grown hard, my sight firm resolved
To choose the path I should go
The cares of day, so shallow and fleeting Shine bright yet cannot endure
Now fear is gone, my past is forgiven
My sin remembered no more

[Turn]

[Verse 3: Emma Townend & Stuart Townend]
Lead on, lead on with power and grace
The road Your footsteps have worn
Till break of dawn discovers your face
And I am truly home
With childlike faith through joy and through sorrow
My journey finally done
My rest and calm in light everlasting
Where loved and Lover are one
Where loved and Lover are one
Where loved and Lover are one

[Instrumental]
