1 All over life’s sea it is stormy and dark,
So many are losing their way;
Without any aid they will sink with their barque,
We must shine like a lighthouse today.

Refrain:
Shine! shine! shine!
Over the stormy sea;
Shine like a lighthouse for Jesus,
Shine! shine! shine!

2 O now if we shine with a gleam that is bright,
That pierces the darkness around;
Some sailor with gladness will follow the light,
To the haven of rest we have found. [Refrain]

3 So sinful and helpless they’re sinking today,
Not knowing God’s harbor of grace
Was opened by Jesus for seamen who stray,
And they’re welcome to enter the place. [Refrain]
