Brightly Beams Our Fathers Mercy

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

2. 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

3. 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.
