Tune: Lux Benigna
(\'Lead, kindly light\')
*******
Lord, light our way, where darkness seems to loom
Like heavy gloom
Inspire, anoint us, showers of your grace
Fall on each face
So looking to you we made radiant
You in us, we in you, your Son you sent
Help us today\'s light seek, to be content
And to relent
From pursuing tomorrow\'s light, for we
Not yet it see
But in your time you daily bread provide
While comforting us, in our hearts reside
Forgive where we dull, slow to act may be
Come set us free
Give boldness, courage, strength and energy
E\'en unto me
That serving you acceptably we will
Know your presence, your Spirit with us still
Knowing no deed or word need be useless
You will it bless
We your witnesses, your evangelists
We know sure this
Sharing the gospel message and our Lord
He the eternal, e\'er the living Word
