Brightly beams our Father's mercy

From His lighthouse evermore

But to us He gives the keeping

Of the lights along the shore
[Chorus]

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 bellows roar

Eager eyes are watching longing

For the lights along the shore
[Chorus]

Send a gleam across the wave

Some poor fainting, struggling seaman

You may rescue you may save
