628 ~ Brightly Beams Our Father’s Mercy
1
Brightly beams our Father's mercy, From His lighthouse evermore, 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 You feeble lamp, my brother: Some poor sailor, tempest tossed, Trying now to make the harbor, In the darkness may be lost.
