Lights Along the Shore

O bless­èd lights along the shore

O bless­èd com­ing aid

I hear above the tem­pest’s roar

Thy voice

Be not dis­mayed.

O beau­te­ous lights along the shore

Or stars or bea­cons fair

We bless your beams

and yield no more

To bil­lows of des­pair.

Soon tri­als will no more dis­tress

Our suf­fer­ing will be passed;

God will His faith­ful child­ren bless

And shel­ter from the blast.

O glo­ri­ous lights that flash afar

Sweet mes­sag­es of love

That sound ab­ove earth’s din and jar

There’s rest and peace ab­ove.

Though storms be long and streams be deep

Faith

hope

ne’er

ne’er give o’er;

Almighty pow­er will ev­er keep

Lights on the heav­en­ly shore.
