Let the Lower Lights Be Burning

[Verse]
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]
Dark the night of sin has settled
Loud the angry billows roar
Eager eyes are watching, longing
For 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]
Trim your feeble lamp, my sister
Some poor sailor, tempest-tossed
Trying now to make the harbor
In the darkness may be lost

[Chorus]
Let the lower lights be burning!
Send a gleam across the wave!
Some poor, fainting, struggling seaman
You may rescue, you may save
Some poor, fainting, struggling seaman
You may rescue, you may save
