[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Dark the night of sin has settled loud the angry billows roar
Eager eyes are watching longing for the lights along the shore

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Trim your feeble lamp my brother, some poor sailor tempest tossed
Trying now to make the harbor in the darkness may be lost

[Chorus]
