Hymn of the Month - "Christ Be My Leader"

This month's hymn is "Christ Be My Leader" by Timothy Dudley-Smith.  I particularly like this hymn, as it has been a source of comfort through the many changes and unknowns I have encountered.  I find myself singing "Christ Be My Leader" frequently.
John 8:12 says:

"Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.'" (ESV)

The first verse of the hymn talks about Christ leading us through the darkness.  When life seems dull, dark, and dismal, Christ is there as the light of the world.  Here is the text of the hymn.  I hope it can be a reminder to you of Christ's love and care.

Christ be my leader by night as by day;
Safe through the darkness, for He is the way.
Gladly I follow, my future His care,
Darkness is daylight when Jesus is there.


Christ be my teacher in age as in youth,
Drifting or doubting, for He is the truth.
Grant me to trust Him; though shifting as sand,
Doubt cannot daunt me; in Jesus I stand.


Christ be my Savior in calm as in strife;
Death cannot hold me, for He is the Life.
Nor darkness nor doubting nor sin and its stain
Can touch my salvation: with Jesus I reign.
