Brightly beams our Father’s mercy
x
From His lighthouse evermore
x
But to us He gives the keeping
x
Of the lights along the shore
x

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

Dark the night of sin has settled
x
Loud the angry billows roar
x
Eager eyes are watching, longing
x
For the lights along the shore
x

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

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

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

Oh, they tell me of a home far beyond the skies
s
Oh, they tell me of a home far away
s
Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise
s
Oh, they tell me of an unclouded day
s

Oh, the land of cloudless days
s
Oh, the land of an unclouded sky
s
Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise
s
Oh, they tell me of an unclouded day
s

Oh, they tell me that He smiles on His children there
s
And His smile drives their sorrows away
s
And they tell me that no tears ever come again
s
In that lovely land of unclouded day
s

Oh, the land of cloudless days
s
Oh, the land of an unclouded sky
s
Oh, they tell me of a home where no storm clouds rise
s
Oh, they tell me of an unclouded day
s

Oh, they tell me of an unclouded day

Come to the Church in the Wildwood
d
Oh come to the church in the veil
d
No spot is so dear to my childhood
d
As the little brown church in the veil
d

[?] close by the side of a loved one
d
Beneath the tree where the wildflowers bloom
d
[?] they are calling, “your first daughter is in the tomb”
d

Come, come, come, come, come to the Church in the Wildwood
d
Oh come to the church in the veil
d
No spot is so dear to my childhood
d
As the little brown church in the veil
d

How sweet on a clear Sabbath morning
d
To listen to the clear ringing bell
d
It’s tone so sweetly calling
d
Oh come to the church in the veil
d

Come, come, come, come, come to the Church in the Wildwood
d
Oh come to the church in the veil
d
No spot is so dear to my childhood
d
As the little brown church in the veil
d

No spot is so dear to my childhood
d
As the little brown church in the veil
d

The blood of the lamb
d
Runs a flood over our losing town
d
A serpent has spoiled itself among our hopes
d
And licks at the blood of the lamb
d
Our calls mocked in the face of heaven
d
The moon as red as the blood of our prayer
d
A devil hunched itself upon our crying child
d
And toys with the blood of the lamb
d
The desert has revealed us our true dust
d
A doubt in faith is choked down in blood
d
The desert You created, the desert free from comforts
d
Desires wrested from lamb’s blood
d
Blood of the lamb colored as black and not as red
d
Three drops of peace colored as black and not as red
d
Forgive these wails of ungraciousness, ungraciousness for our own debts
d
The blood of the lamb is sweeter than our own
d
