Turn on the Search-Light

Turn on the search­light

oh

let its bright ray

Come flash­ing and gleam­ing across the dark wave;

Turn on the search­light

and let it be­tray

The dark­ness of sin and God’s pow­er to save.

Turn on the search­light

oh

may it dis­close

Some life be­ing lost on the bil­lows of sin;

Yes

turn on the search­light

oh

who is it knows

Some heart may be op­en His light to let in.

Turn on the search­light

flash deep in the soul

That care­less­ly drifts t’ward the dan­ger­ous bar;

Turn on the search­light where dark­ly doth roll

The break­ers whose dash­ing we hear from afar.

Turn on the search­light

oh

let its bright eye

Pierce e’en to the depths of thy in­ner­most soul;

Turn on the search­light

oh

heed you the cry

Ere some one is lost on that dan­ger­ous shoal.
