Let The Lower Lights Be Burning Lyrics - Johnny Cash

Brightly beams our Father's mercy from his lighthouse evermore 

But to us he gives the keeping of the lights along the shore 

Let the lower lights be burning, send a 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 a gleam across the wave 

Some poor fainting struggling seaman, you may rescue you may save 

Trim your feeble lamp my brother, some poor sailor tempest tossed 

Trying now to make the harbor in the darkness may be lost
