Sheet music
- 1There are lights by the shore of that country,Where my bark amid perils I steer;And they ever grow brighter and brighter,As that glorious haven I near.O, the lights along the shoreThat never grow dim, Never, never grow dim.Are the souls that are aflameWith the love of Jesus’ name,And they guide us, yes, they guide us unto Him.
- 2There are lights by the shore as we journey,As we float down the river of time,All the days of our pilgrimage brightenWith a radiance truly sublime.O, the lights along the shoreThat never grow dim, Never, never grow dim.Are the souls that are aflameWith the love of Jesus’ name,And they guide us, yes, they guide us unto Him.
- 3O, they tell of a hope that will cheer usIn the midst of our sorrows and cares,When the lamp on our vessel burns dimly,And we watch for the glimmer of theirs.O, the lights along the shoreThat never grow dim, Never, never grow dim.Are the souls that are aflameWith the love of Jesus’ name,And they guide us, yes, they guide us unto Him.
- 4Then forget not your light, keep it shining:O, Christian, be earnest and true;For a soul on life’s ocean may perish–May sink in the waves but for you.O, the lights along the shoreThat never grow dim, Never, never grow dim.Are the souls that are aflameWith the love of Jesus’ name,And they guide us, yes, they guide us unto Him.
