If deep in the night
You hear a voice calling
Lost and alone
Barely able to speak
With each weary step
Through cold shadow they stumble
Blindly along
Frail, hopeless and weak
Chorus:
Wont you set out a travelers lantern
Just a small light that they might see
To guide them back home before they wander
Into the dark billows that crash on the sea
At dawns rise you may find
The footprints of angels
Brought to fellowship there
By your mercy lamps flame
Walking beside
The weary soul lifes forgotten
Bringing comfort and love
And gently leading their way
Chorus:
Wont you set out a travelers lantern
Just a small light that they might see
To guide them back home before they wander
Into the dark billows that crash on the sea
