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 beam 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 beam across the wave
Some poor fainting struggling seaman
you may rescue you may save
Dark the night of sin has settled
Let the lower lights be burning
send a beam across the wave
Some poor fainting struggling seaman
you may rescue you may save
