"Let The Lower Lights Be Burning" lyrics

Let The Lower Lights Be Burning

Brightly beams
Our Father's mercy
From His lighthouse evermore
But to us
He gives the keeping
Of the lights
Along the shore

Let the lower
Lights be burning
Send a gleam
Across the wave
Some poor fainting
Struggling seaman
You may rescue
You may save

Dark the night
Of sin has settled
Loud the angry
Billows roar
Eager eyes
Are watching longing
For the lights
Along the shore

Let the lower
Lights be burning
Send a gleam
Across the wave
Some poor fainting
Struggling seaman
You may rescue
You may save
