G                            C
Brightly beams our fathers mercy
            A7          D D7
From his lighthouse evermore
        G                C
But to us he gives the keeping
         G      D         G
Of the lights along the shore

[Chorus]
                C            G
Let the lower lights be burning
         A7             D D7
Send a gleam across the wave
G
Some poor fainting struggling
C
seaman
         G      D        G
you may rescue you may save

[Verse 2]
G                            C
Dark the night of sin has settled
          A7           D D7
Loud the angry billows roar
       G                  C
Eager eyes are watching,learning
          G     D         G
For the lights along the shore

[Chorus]
                C            G
Let the lower lights be burning
         A7             D D7
Send a gleam across the wave
G
Some poor fainting struggling
C
seaman
         G      D        G
you may rescue you may save

[Verse 3]
G                            C
Trim your feeble lamp, my brother;
            A7             D D7
Some poor sailor,tempest tossed
        G               C
Trying now to make the harbor,
        G        D      G
In the darkness may be lost

[Chorus]
                C            G
Let the lower lights be burning
         A7             D D7
Send a gleam across the wave
G
Some poor fainting struggling
C
seaman
         G      D        G
you may rescue you may save
