Brightly Beams Our Father’s Mercy
G C
1.Brightly beams our Father’s mercy
A7 D7
From His lighthouse ever -more,
G C
But to us he gives the keeping
G D7 G
Of the lights along the shore.
(Chorus)
C G A7 D7
Let the lower lights be burning; Send a gleam across the wave.
G C G D7 G
Some poor fainting, struggling seaman , You may rescue, you may save.
G C
- Dark the night of sin has settled;
A7 D7
Loud the angry billows roar.
G C
Eager eyes are watching, longing,
G D7 G
For the lights along the shore.
(Chorus)
G C
- Trim your feeble lamp, my brother;
A7 D7
Some poor sailor, tempest – tossed,
G C
Trying now to make the harbor,
G D7 G
In the darkness may be lost.
(chorus)
