1.Brightly beams our Father's mercy
From His lighthouse evermore,
But to us He gives the keeping
Of the lights along the shore.

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-tost,
Trying now to make the harbor,
In the darkness may be lost.

RefrainLet the lower lights be burning!
Send a gleam across the wave!
Some poor fainting, struggling seaman
You may rescue, you may save.

Same meter but needs editorial underlay: FACE TO FACE, HANSON PLACE, HEAVEN, MY REDEEMER, MY SAVIOR'S LOVE, REGENT SQUARE, TRUST IN JESUS.
