Of the (D)lights a(A)long the (D)shore. -D

Let the (G)lower lights be (D)burning!

You may (D)rescue, (A)you may (G)save.

Dark the (D)night of sin has (G)settled,
Loud the (Em)angry billows (A)roar;

For the (D)lights a(A)long the (D)shore. -D

Chorus + Bridge

Trim your (D)feeble lamp, my (G)brother;
Some poor (Em)sailor, tempest-(A)tossed,
Trying (D)now to reach the (G)harbour,
In the (D)darkness (A)may be (D)lost. -D
