Montfort School Ranirkhamar, Agartala
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
Should lead 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
1)Keep me burning (3)
I pray Keep me burning(3)
Keep me burning till the end of day.
Ch: Sing hosanna, Sing hosanna
Sing hosanna , to the king of kings,
Sing hosanna, sing hosanna,
Sing hosanna, to the king.
2)Give me love in my heart, keep me serving (3)
3)Give me joy in my heart, keep me praising (3)
Glory to thee Montfort the loving preacher
Of Jesus Cross and Mary’s rosary
The love of God and of his Holy Mother
Both in thy heart found a fair sanctuary.
1)The early thoughts of Montfort were for Mary
And in her love, he grew ever more strong
Her virtues well he endeavored to copy
To her sweet self he desired to belong.
2)How well he loved to call her his dear mother
When in her heart he would pour out his heart,
How much he cared during life and forever.
Her bounteous power to the whole world import
