Brightly Beams/pull For The Shore Lyrics - Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends - Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends

Brightly beams our Father's mercy 

From his lighthouse evermore, 

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 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 

(CHORUS) 

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 harbour 

In the darkness may be lost 

(CHORUS) 

Let the lower lights be burning; 

Send a gleam across the wave 

Some poor fainting, struggling seaman 

You may rescue, you may save 

Throw out the lifeline! 

Throw out the lifeline! 

Someone is drifting away! 

Throw out the lifeline! 

Throw out the lifeline! 

Someone is drifting away! 

Chorus: 

Pull for the shore, sailor, pull for the shore! 

Heed not the rolling waves, but bend to the oar; 

Safe in the lifeboat, sailor, cling to self no more! 

Leave that poor old stranded wreck, and pull for the shore. 

Light in the darkness, sailor, day is at hand! 

See o'er the foaming billows fair haven's land, 

Drear was the voyage, sailor, now almost o'er, 

Safe within the life boat, sailor, pull for the shore. 

Chorus: 

Pull for the shore, sailor, pull for the shore! 

Heed not the rolling waves, but bend to the oar; 

Safe in the lifeboat, sailor, cling to self no more! 

Leave that poor old stranded wreck, and pull for the shore.
