Let the Lower Lights Be Burning Johnny Cash
LET THE LOWER LIGHTS BE BURNING
Brightly [C]beams our Father's mercy
[D7] [G7]
But to [C]us He gives the [F]keeping
Of the [C]lights a[G7]long the [C]shore.
Let the [F]lower lights be [C]burning!
Send a [D7]gleam across the [G7]wave!
Some poor [C]fainting, struggling [F]seaman
You may [C]rescue,[G7] you may [C]save.
Dark the night of sine has settled,
Loud the angry bellows 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.
Trem 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.
