Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy

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.

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.
