1. Brightly beams our Father's mercy from His lighthouse ever more,
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.
?
3. Trim your feeble lamp, my brother, Some poor sailor tempest tossed,
Trying now to make the harbor, the darkness may be lost.
