Lower Lights Songtext
von Joanne Cash

Brightly beams our Father′s mercy
From His lighthouse evermore
But to us He gives the keeping
Are the lights along the shore

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

Dark the night of sin has settled
Loud the angry billows roar
Eager eyes are watching, longing
For the lights along the shore


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

Trim your feeble lamps, my brother
Some poor sailor is tempest-tossed
Trying now to make the harbor
In the darkness may be lost

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