Johnny Cash Let The Lower Lights be Burnin Lyrics

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.
Let the lower lights be burning, send a gleam across the wave
Some poor fainting struggling seaman you may rescue you may save
