Let The Lower Lights Be Burning

Johnny Crash


Tom: C

C                           F
Brightly beams our Father's mercy
         D7             G7
From His lighthouse evermore
       C               F
But to us He gives the keeping
       C       G7       C
Of the lights along the shore

[Chorus]
        F               C
Let the lower lights be burning
       D7               G7
Send a gleam across the wave
          C                    F
Some poor fainting, struggling seaman
        C       G7      C
You may rescue  you may save

[Verse 2]
                          F
Dark the night of sin has settled
         D7            G7
Loud the angry bellows roar
      C                 F
Eager eyes are watching longing
        C       G7       C
For the lights along the shore

[Chorus]
        F               C
Let the lower lights be burning
       D7               G7
Send a gleam across the wave
          C                    F
Some poor fainting, struggling seaman
        C       G7      C
You may rescue  you may save
