The Pillar of the Cloud

I had NO Idea  that my favorite hymn was a poem written By John Henry, Cardinal Newman  (1801–1890) The Pillar of the Cloud is the Shekinah The light that guided the Children of Israel in the Wilderness The Glory of God in a brilliance of Light remember the poem I wrote here?

The Pillar of the Cloud aka Lead Kindly Light my favorite Hymn 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 over moor and fen, over 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! Tyler mentioned he had struggled a day or two in the MTC this past week. So I knew today needed to be cookie day!
