Let the Lower Lights be burning

 

                                    Let the Lower Lights Be Burning

I have never been to a lighthouse, but I understand how the concept could be compared to God’s mercy. His mercy is unending and it shines as far and as bright as a lighthouse. He wants us to share that mercy with Him and with others. Mercy means not getting what we deserve. None of us deserve God’s mercy but because He gives it as a gift, all we have to do is accept it and extend it to others that don’t deserve it either but need it. Let us be aware of the people God puts before us. It may be some poor struggling soul that needs saved.

Lyrics by Philip P. Bliss, arranged by Phillip P. Bliss

“Brightly beams our Father’s mercy from His lighthouse evermore, but to us He gives the keeping of the lighthouse along the shore.

Dark the night of sin has settled, loud the angry billows roar; Eager eyes are watching, longing, for the lights along the shore.

Trim your feeble lamp, my brother, some poor sailor tempest tossed, trying now to make the harbor, in the darkness may be lost.

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