- The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square perform the much-loved British hymn "Lead Kindly Light" arranged by Mack Wilberg with music by John B. Dykes and original text by John Henry Newman, cofounder of the Cambridge University Musical Society.
Aired July 15, 2012 from the Music and the Spoken Word broadcast episode 4322.
I sang this at my grandma’s funeral fifty years ago in 1974. It still brings tears to my eyes.
This Hymn tells my story more than I ever could. I spent so much of my life caught up in the cycle of my own pride and finally had an “epiphany” while talking with my mother. I heard in my soul, “you need to stop.” At that moment I knew I had to change...so I put my faith in the source of that epiphany...one step at a time...still walking and working, falling and getting back up. “I do not wish to see, one step enough for me.”
God bless you
"Lead, Kindly Light", "O Divine Redeemer", "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing", "Be Still, My Soul", and "Homeward Bound". Such soul soothing hymns. The Good Shepherd WILL forgive us for wandering, protect us and gently guide us to safety - if we let Him....
It was the favourite of William McKinlay who was the US President.
Lyrics
1. 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.
2. I was not ever thus, nor pray’d 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.
3. So long thy pow’r 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!
thank you, Rachael!
I picture it saying at the top: To all the Mothers and Fathers out there who have lost their loved ones for a time.
Thanku
I play this song on my headset while crossing the campus of the University. I sometimes shed tears on route to my class because it’s so beautiful. I grew up listening to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir . May the add a blessing to these gifted saints and musicians.
Always in a rush,,, always overthinking, over analyzing, over everything. This hymn always comes to mind when I need a reminder that I just need to breathe... and be Lead by God.
Whenever I seek refuge from the daily sins of man I listen to these guys they make me feel closer to God :)
Amen to them, amen to you. I feel the same way. It is an amazing form of meditation in christ
I remember four years ago when I was in the midst of blaming God for my mothers death. I remember when I got sick and blamed Him again saying how He hated me. I also remember when the most profound moment of my realization that all these things were to strengthen me. As I serve him in all my capacities I feel His light constantly guiding me. Who knew a man who cursed, drank to stupor, hated people, walked in gangs, could have been turned into a loving, devoted husband and father? Who knew the wonderful blessings the gospel would bring into my family? Only God knew, so let Him lead you.
+trevylove AMEN, and may you always be lead by Him.

This rendition of this beautiful hynm plays in my mind and heart throughout the day leading my thoughts to my Savior. It still brings tears. Thank you choir.
Me too….I want to know Him better every day.
This has to be what the angels sound like. When everything feels rotten, they bring me back to a positive light.
Gail Fattori We're glad you enjoy our music! Hope you keep having a great day!
You may think that this is what the angels sound like, but if you read Isaiah 6, you will discover that as they cry "Holy, holy, holy!", they are actually proclaiming it in a voice so loud, that it shakes the temple to its foundation.
@@thetabernaclechoir what are the specs on that flute in the opening seconds? I love the sound !! closed hole flute? offset? split-e mechanism? silver/gold plated? head joint details? drawn or soldered tone holes? B or C foot joint? I am a beginner to the instrument, but this song definitely inspired me to want to learn the flute
Beautiful and meaningful song. I just found it in an old Methodist hymnal from 1901 and looked for it here. The old Christian hymns were so worshipful and instructive.
Thanks!
What a beautiful tune...I find myself listening to the tabernacle choir over n over these days! It brings to me such wonderful hope! I truly love my Savior❤
When the EYE is single the BODY is full of light; when the BODY is full of LIGHT it is well with the SOUL. LEAD KINDLY LIGHT, lead on. Majestic, amen.
Beautiful Hymn, Beautifully performed! Thank you Choir, Orchestra and Director!
The voice of God is speaking through this choir!
So true. In the past year, I have realized he speaks through everyone who is open to His light. Every time I hear a speaker or teacher in church now, I know it is Him without a doubt speaking through them, even those who I might have before thought were "boring." I was wrong. He speaks through all of them who let His light in.
Lead, kindly light, the words in the lyrics, says it all, to ADONAI be all the glory.
If you read about John Henry (later Cardinal) Newman's life, the words to this beautiful setting (Lux Benigna) make even more sense. My tiny UCC choir will be singing this later in Lent.
I wish I had done a few things differently. I am hoping that I can make them right. I know that we all need to do what we can to save ourselves and others. If we save ourselves, we sometimes save others too. I hope that I can make right anything that I ever did wrong.
Looking forward to April 2022 General Conference!! Tomorrow…1st Saturday and Sunday in April!! Dear Jesus, through your prophet and apostles who are inspired to tell us what you want us to know….lead Thou me on!! I do not ask to see, the distant scene….one step enough for me!”
Keep thou my feet; I do not ask to see
The distant scene--one step enough for me.
Such beautiful words! They've gotten me through a difficult time.
This choir is so magnificent. Its members can sing well but, I am sure that it is the type of lives that they carry, in their conducts, the main thing that promotes the beauty that they impact us with.
This song is so beautiful and touching thank you Mormon Tabernacle choir for your beautiful voices.
This brilliant choir renders the plea of a Christian heart in harmonious beauty with their singing to our Saviour Jesus Christ on our behalf. So wonderful.
The Light of Christ leads me each day.
Beautiful! ! It is precious to His Heart when all come together for Him, putting aside all earthly differences...That's what the Light of Christ does! He's waiting for us to figure that out! Lead Kindly Light!
Our relationship to God is not static, fixed. Our relationship with God, which we call “faith,” is best characterized as a journey, a movement outward in trust that God leads us by the bonds of love
+Judi Harbin a beautiful answer. thank you for those words.
true
Muchas gracias
One of the best speeches I have ever heard.
May the Lord God be ever praised for the gift of this beautiful choir and this inspired music. I sometimes ponder what dear Brother Joseph would have thought could he hear this today.
I could just imagine how heaven would be like with so many voices singing and praising God with angelic voices together with the angelic choirs.
Thank you, This hymn got me through very dark times and is a true inspiration. Lead me on!
my eyes tears of joy and peaceful thought...
This beautiful music enables me to endure my fasting. I simply feast on this beautiful God sent sound.
Hoy es día de reposo.. tuve que quedarme en casa con mi hijo enfermo mi esposa asistió con nuestras hijas ..pero al quedarme en casa comprendo que debo guardar Santo este día...escuchando música del tabernaculo ..asi puedo enseñar a mi hijo que este día es Santo y hay cosas especiales que uno puede hacer en casa ...el evangelio es maravilloso
A great hymn sung beautifully by the Mormon`s.
lyric by St John Henry Newman, one of the greatest English saints in the Catholic church.
A magnificent melody with life-affirming lyrics.
What a blessing to hear this Choir !
What a wonderful group of people
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 thou me on, lead thou me on...
Lead kindly light
I am grateful for the beautiful scenery out in nature. Thank you for the people that took those videos.

This is such a
tender song and beautifully done.
These beautiful places that are filmed don't even look like they are here on this realm, but in God's realm.
Amazing!!! Thanks so much our brothers and sisters for sharing this amazing music giving peace in my soul and spreading love everywhere !! It's so beautiful !!!
Beautiful song. This is my favorite hymn.
What a beautiful hymn,well played orchestra,and well sung choir…
This rendition of my favourite hymn is mindblowing! Thank you.....Listen to it at least once a day.
THX Choir and Cardinal John Henry Newman
This is my favorite hymn. The lyrics is a wonderful pray.
An absolutely beautiful arrangement of a wonderful hymn.
Who knew the Mormons would sing so much Catholic music!
+John Santucci We invite Catholics to sing our hymns of the Restoration. "The Spirit of God" or "Come Come Ye Saints". Feel free :)
+John Santucci You should see in our Churchwide, global addresses called General Conference - our Church leaders have quoted Mother Teresa, Saints, etc. It's really cool!
Indeed John! Beautiful words from Cardinal Newman!
John Henry Newman was NOT a Roman Catholic when he wrote this magnificent poem. It just shows that the grace of God knows no boundaries ... especially not the ones our human institutions impose.
this needs more views.
This is fantastish!
Hallelujah cohen
Leonard cohen hallelujah
3.32 pm For those of us who are somewhat hard of hearing, it would be more than nice if we could call up the lyrics in the form of, say a transcript, that would allow our minds to more clearly hear the words as the choir sings.😊
My favorite hymn, love this song !
Quel bel hommage à la nature que cette vidéo de qualité.
I love this song!!!
Beautiful hymn!
"Divina Luz" in Spanish, one of my favorite hymns.
your music is so soft, i love it
Thank you for this wonderful Music.
Que voces bellas, en alabanza y adoración...sin palabras...
Yes Cardinal Newman is the author of the text. I prefer a different tune for this hymn -- tune name is Sandon.
MAGNIFICO CORO DE LA IGlESIA.DE JESUCRISTO DE LOS SANTOS DE LOS ULTIMOS DIAS. QUE ESPIRITU CONTIENE AMO ESTE CORO.

Meu hino favorito ^^
Tiako ny mozika fony aho mbola kely, ary tena tia azy ny zanako vavy dimy volana, na dia mitomany aza izy raha mihaino ireo hira mampientanentana ao amin'ny kôntinin'ny tabernakel dia manohy izao izy izao
John Henry Newman converted to Roman Catholic, he was recently proclaimed a Saint. May many Mormons convert to the True Church.
Anybody know the specs on that flute in the opening seconds of the song? I love that sound
i read that betsie ten boom sang this song at one of the concentration camps in nazi germany
Esta es la música de los Dioses
Wunderbar. Ich kann kein Englisch nur Musik(isch)
O meu tambem!
Iceltic thunder

Wrong tune.
Still a glorious song. No matter what tune it's played in. :)
God bless you my friend ☺
