LAMBETH (Akeroyd)
O Lead My Blindness by the Hand
Author: William E. Gladstone Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5111 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. O lead my blindness by the hand,
Lead me to Thy familiar feast,
Not here or now to understand,
Yet even here and now to taste,
How the eternal Word of Heav’n
On earth in broken bread is giv’n.
2. We, who this holy precinct round
In one adoring circle kneel,
May we in one intent be bound,
And one serene devotion feel;
And grow around Thy sacred shrine
Like tendrils of the deathless Vine.
3. We, who with one blest food are fed,
Into one body may we grow,
And one pure life from Thee, the Head,
Informing all the members flow;
One pulse be felt in every vein,
One law of pleasure and of pain. Languages: English Tune Title: LAMBETH (Akeroyd)

W. E. Gladstone
1809 - 1898 Person Name: William E. Gladstone Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Author of "O Lead My Blindness by the Hand" in The Cyber Hymnal Born: December 29, 1809, Liverpool, England.
Died: May 19, 1898, Hawarden, Flintshire, Wales.
Buried: Westminster Abbey, London, England.
Gladstone, William Ewart, was born at Liverpool, Dec. 29, 1809, died at Hawarden, May 19, 1898, and was buried May 28, 1898, at Westminster Abbey. For the details of his career see his Life by John Morley, 3 vols., 1903. His connexion with Hymnody is slight. Two translations into Latin are noted at pp.632, ii., 972,i., and one into Italian, p. 488, ii. Mrs. Gladstone in 1898 contributed to Good Words, p. 483, a poem on the Holy Communion, beginning, "Lord, as Thy temple's portals close," in ten stanzas, dated May 1836. It gives a most interesting picture of the period and of the devotional feelings of the author. A cento, consisting of sts. iii., iv., v., beginning, “0 lead my blindness by the hand," is in The English Hymnal 1906, No. 322, but it suffers from the loss of the context. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.]
