Lead Thou Me On

I love listening to the words of hymns. I have been listening to "Lead, Kindly Light" for years and there were some certain phrases that stood out to me today.

So long Thy power hath blessed me, sure it still will lead me on.
O’er moor and fen, o’er crag and torrent, till the night is gone,

It also reminds me of these words in another hymn:

O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home.

Basically, what these are both saying is that God has taken care of us in the past, so there is no reason to believe that He will not continue to help us. The experiences we have had in the past will help us to have faith and hope that He will continue to help us.
