Lead Kindly Light

C G C


  C           F/C       G/C                C
Lead, kindly light, amidst the grey and gloom
      Em       Am           Dm7       G
The night is long and I am far from home
 C           F/C            G/C       C
Here in the dark, I do not ask to see
     Em      Am       Em       F
The path ahead--one step enough for me
     C/G      G            C
Lead on, lead on, kindly light


Em Am Dm G (x2)


 C         F/C     G/C          C
I was not ever willing to be led
   Em          Am          Dm7    G
I could have stayed, but I ran instead
 C           F/C        G/C        C
In spite of fear, I followed my pride
    Em       Am             Em       F
My eyes could see, but my heart was blind
     C/G      G             C
Lead on, lead on, kindly light


Em Am Dm G (x2)


 C          F/C      G/C          C
And in the night, when I was afraid
      Em       Am   Dm7        G
Your feet beside my own on the way
 C             F/C      G/C             C
Each stumbling step where other men have trod
     Em       Am          Em       F
Shortens the road leading home to my God
     C/G      G
Lead on, lead on
   Am        D/F#
My God, my God
    C/G       G           C
Lead on, lead on, kindly light
