Search Light

Flash out the search light

dark is the way

Some weary wan­d’rer is go­ing as­tray

Many temp­ta­tions lurk now at his side

Many the per­ils that in his path hide.

Flash out the search light

bright­en the way

Follow the souls that in darken­ed paths stray

Search in the high­ways

search in the by­ways

Tell them that Je­sus bids them come home.

Flash out the search light

bright let it shine

Bearing the mes­sage of mer­cy di­vine

Christ the Re­deem­er who seek­eth for thee

Offers a par­don so full and so free.

Light up the dark­ness

scat­ter the night

There is a bro­ther who longs for the light

Now he is fal­ter­ing

do not de­lay

Flash out the search light and bright­en the way.
