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
O lux aeterna (O Eternal Light), lead thou me on
O lux beata (O blessed light), lead, kindly light, lead me on

So long thy power has blest me, sure it still
Will lead me on
O'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent 'til
The night is gone
And with the morn those angel faces smile
Which I have loved long since and lost a while
O lux aeterna (O Eternal Light), lead thou me on
O lux beata (O blessed light), lead, kindly light, lead me on

The night is dark and I am far from home

O lux aeterna (O Eternal Light), lead thou me on
O lux beata, perpetua, beata (O blessed light, eternal, blessed)
Lead Thou me home
