- Gospel song. First lyrics are: 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 struggling, fainting 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.
