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]
