LYRICS:

Let The Lower Lights
Words: Philip P. Bliss
Intro: Let the lower lights be burning Send a gleam across the waves ...

1
Brightly beams our Father's mercy
From His lighthouse ever more
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 waves
Some poor fainting, struggling sea man
You may rescue, you may save

2
Dark the night of sin has settled
Loud the angry bellows roar
Eager eyes are watching, waiting
For the lights along the shore

(Repeat Chorus)

You may rescue, you may save ...
