Lyrics Let the Lower Lights Be Burning (24-Bit Digitally Remastered 06) - Ella Fitzgerald

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 light be burning (be burning)
Send a gleam across the wave (across the wave)
Some poor fainting struggling seaman
You may rescue, you may save

Trim your feeble lamp, my brother
Some poor sailor, tempest-tossed
Trying now to make the harbour
In the darkness may be lost

Let the lower lights be burning (be burning)
Send a gleam (a gleam) across the wave (across the wave)
Some poor fainting struggling seaman
You may rescue, you may save

Let the lights be burning (let the lights be burning)
Send a gleam (send a gleam) across the wave
Some poor fainting struggling seaman
You may rescue, you may save (you may save)
