fisherman's friends - brightly beams / pull for the shore lyrics

brightly beams
our father’s mercy
from his light us evermore
and to us he gives the keeping
of the lights along the shore

let your lower lights be burning
send their gleam across the wave
some poor fainting, struggling seaman
you may rescue, you may save

dark the night of sin has settled
loud the angry billows roar
angry eyes are watching, longing
for the lights along the shore

let your lower lights be burning
send their gleam 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 your lower lights be burning
send their gleam across the wave
some poor fainting, struggling seaman
you may rescue, you may save

throw out the lifeline!
throw out the lifeline!
someone is drifting away!
throw out the lifeline!
throw out the lifeline!
someone is drifting away!

pull for the shore, sailor!
pull for the shore!
heed not the rolling wave, but bend to the oar!
safe in the lifeboat, sailor, cling to self no more!
leave that poor old stranded wreck, and pull for the shore!

light in the darkness, sailor
day is at hand!
see o’er the foaming billows
fair haven’s land!
drear was the voyage, sailor
now, almost o’er
safe within the lifeboat, sailor
pull for the shore!
pull for the shore, sailor!
pull for the shore!
heed not the rolling wave, but bend to the oar!
safe in the lifeboat, sailor, cling to self no more!
leave that poor old stranded wreck, and pull for the shore!
