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 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou Shouldst lead me on I loved to choose, and see my path but now Lead thou me on I loved the garish day, and spite of fears Pride ruled my will, remember not past years So long thy power hath blest 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 a while
I long for home,I'm sick and tied of this World that's so dark my path is very faint and at times unclear yet I trust my guide my savour and my friend to lead me home.
Body is a bag of hunger and pain created by evil fathers lust n selfishness.. it's not yo fault.. never breed any body by causing pregnancy pain. Eden garden is within at the end of greed, ignorance, lust, false belief, pride... everything in this world is devils illusion.. even religious leaders of this world are controlled by lust, greed n misguiding all selfishly for money... when u tired of all crap lie, Capitalism n seek nothing... all that remains is lord taking you back from this devils world of lies n ignorance... "The Kingdom of God is Within You" is the key phrase in Luke 17:21
One of my favorite hymns. Aled sings very well. I saw his live performance at Melbourne. By the way now I live in Oman. This Hymn makes me to weep. Bring closer to God
I love this hymn so much because I have many things in my life that brings me grief and this song chases them all away. I love his calm voice and gentleness that guides this song. Thank you Aled and I will see you again in Romsey near London in late August. God Bless you and your family always.

Cardinal Newman, dear Father, thank you for teaching me so much about the TRUE teachings of the Catholic Faith--and not just the fluffy stuff, or all the rumors from ancient times. Thank you. You will always be my father. +
I spotted Aled at the Dubai airport waiting to catch a plane to Melbourne. I ambled over to him and said "Excuse me but would you allow me to surmise that you are Aled Jones?" He replied "Yes I am Aled Jones". No one else recognised him.
Lead, Kindly Light, amidst th'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. I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou Shouldst lead me on; I loved to choose and see my path; but now Lead Thou me on! I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years! So long Thy power hath blest 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! Meantime, along the narrow rugged path, Thyself hast trod, Lead, Saviour, lead me home in childlike faith, Home to my God. To rest forever after earthly strife In the calm light of everlasting life.
I am afraid! And never before faith has ever been needed to have. Aled Jones version is giving me the courage to face that fear - and yes! I am feeling that! And ever more so. I need the hope as we - and I - have never prayed before.
Lead Kindly Light Hymn Lead, kindly Light, amid th'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. I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou shouldst lead me on; I loved to choose and see my path; but now lead Thou me on! I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, Pride ruled my will. Remember not past years! So long Thy power hath blest 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! **Story taken from "Light From Many Lamps" By: Lillian Eichler Watson, 1951
Oh yes! In a way I am far from home! The next step is terrifying me! But I will - God willing - come through an operation in hospital. To think - I come through the pandemic itself! And now a small tumour poses the bigger challenge.
It did - but I am back in a church choir - singing again. I have taken many steps since that time - that night has gone and now I am back. Leading through a long dark tunnel - especially for the people of Ukraine.
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 I was not ever thus, nor prayed that thou Shouldst lead me on I loved to choose, and see my path but now Lead thou me on I loved the garish day, and spite of fears Pride ruled my will, remember not past years So long thy power hath blest 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 a while Lead kindly light
