Text: | Let the Lower Lights Be Burning |
Author: | P. P. Bliss |
Tune: | [Brightly beams our Father's mercy] |
Composer: | P. P. Bliss |
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 and angry billows roar;
Eager eyes are watching, longing,
For the lights along the shore.
3 Trim your feeble lamp, my brother,
Some poor seaman, tempest-tossed,
Trying now to make the harbor,
In the darkness may be lost.
