A PRAYER FOR LIGHT.
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 j I do not ask to see The distant seene — one step enough for me. I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou shouldst lead me on, I lovM to choose and see my path ; but now lead Thou me on ! I lov*d the garish day, and spite of fears, Pride rul'd my will : remember not past years. So long Thy power hath led 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 awhile. Rev. Dr. Newman.
