John Coleman is producing lovely church music in a folk idiom. This song, written with his late friend, Noel Davis, is a homage to John Henry Newman’s poem.
The sheet music can be purchased at Willow.
You can hear John’s version at Bandcamp.
Lead, lead O kindly light, lead thou me on O lead,
Lead O kindly light, lead thou me on.
Amidst this circling gloom I place my trust in you.
O lead thou me on.
Lead, lead O kindly light, lead thou me on O lead,
Lead O kindly light, lead thou me on.
My soul yearns for you, God of my life,
O lead thou me on.
Lead kindly light,
Lead kindly light,
Lead kindly light,
Lead kindly light.
