Text: | Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy (Let the Lower Lights Be Burning) |
Author: | Philip P. Bliss, 1838-1876 |
Tune: | LOWER LIGHTS |
Composer: | Philip P. Bliss, 1838-1876 |
1 Brightly beams our Father’s mercy
From His lighthouse evermore;
But to us He gives the keeping
Of the lights along the shore.
Refrain:
Let the lower lights be burning!
Send a gleam across the wave!
Some poor fainting, struggling seaman
You may rescue, you may save.
2 Dark the night of sin has settled,
Loud the angry billows roar;
Eager eyes are watching, longing,
For the lights along the shore. [Refrain]
3 Trim your feeble lamp, my brother!
Some poor seaman, tempest-tossed,
Trying now to make the harbor,
In the darkness may be lost. [Refrain]
