There on jagged precipice stands
Not on the smooth and sloping sands
Stands not to becon but for alarm
Its message a warning of unseen harm
Built for a signal through tempest power
Its witness most vital at midnight hour

Many a sailor in darkest night
Rejoiced to behold its welcome light
For comfort is given though warning be
When seeking direction in treacherous sea
For many a father's life was redeemed
When through the thick darkness its steady light beemed

Silent light Holy light
Naught is calm Naught is bright
Stars and light of moon are gone
Hope we now for light of dawn
Blessed shining received
Safety for all who believed

The Church on the storming edge of the sea
Stands for a beacon to you and me
Stand an immovable house of light
Guiding and warning through darkest night
Truth its unwavering beam
Men from their sin to redeem
