This week on Knowing Hymn, we discuss #97, Lead Kindly Light with text by (Saint!) Cardinal John Henry Newman and music by John Dykes. We talk about the stressful life of John Dykes and how the famous Swedish soprano, Jenny Lind, shaped his career. We talk about how John Henry Newman went from teaching at Oxford to becoming a Catholic Cardinal. And of course, we talk about the text to this beautiful hymn that points toward the everlasting Light that leads us through the storms of life.
