At dawn's rise you may find
The footprints of angels
Brought to fellowship there
By your mercy lamp's flame
Walking beside
The weary soul life's forgotten
Bringing comfort and love
And gently leading their way
Chorus:
Won't you set out
a traveler's 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
