Lift your light a little higher, there's a life to save,
Let it shine a little brighter, o'er the stormy wave;
Some poor soul for help is crying,
In the sea of sin is dying,
Lift your light a little higher o'er the wave.
Lift your light a little higher
Keep it bright;
Someone lost and sinking,
Looks to you for light;
You a life may save, from a hopeless grave,
Just lift your light up higher, o'er the wave.
Lift your light a little higher, do not hide its ray,
You may be a beacon light a long the rocky way;
By a little care and labor,
You may save a friend or neighbor,
Lift your light a little higher o'er the wave.
Lift your light a little higher
Keep it bright;
Someone lost and sinking,
Looks to you for light;
You a life may save, from a hopeless grave,
Just lift your light up higher, o'er the wave.
Let the light from God's own presence shine into your heart,
Then to those who live in darkness light you may impart;
Burning "oil of joy and gladness,"
You may help dispel life's sadness,
Lift your light a little higher o'er the wave.
Lift your light a little higher
Keep it bright;
Someone lost and sinking,
Looks to you for light;
You a life may save, from a hopeless grave,
Just lift your light up higher, o'er the wave.
