1 As a lighthouse on the shore,
When the stormy billows roar,
Sends its blessed light across the surging wave;
So a Christian’s joy should be
Standing by life’s boisterous sea,
To let his light shine out some soul to save.
Refrain:
Then shine, shine, shine
Over all the way today,
Be a Beacon of Righteousness,
And send abroad your blessed ray;
Then shine, shine, shine,
O do not your light confine,
Be a Beacon of Righteousness,
And shine, shine, shine.
2 Of the world ye are the light,
Ever shining clear and bright,
That a doubting soul my know which way to go;
And no matter what may come,
Be a light to guide those home,
Who struggle on in sorrow or in woe. [Refrain]
3 For the Lord a light to be,
That a weary one may see
Who travels on the upward path alone,
Is a richer diadem,
Than a crown of priceless gem
That decks a monarch on his royal throne. [Refrain]
