INTRO



               E          A            E      
If deep in the night, you hear a voice calling,
                       B7      E
Lost and alone, barely able to speak.
                                  A            E
With each weary step through cold shadows they stumble
                      B7           E
Blindly along, frail, hopeless and weak.



              A     D          A
Won't you set out a traveler's lantern?
                           D          A
Just a small light so that they might see. 
                   E      A         E
To guide them back home before they wander
                           B7           E
Into the dark billows that crash on the sea.



                       E        A             E
At dawn's rise you may find the footprints of angels,
                                    B7           E
Brought to fellowship there by your mercy lamp's flame.
                         A              E
Walking beside the weary soul life's forgotten,
                                     B7            E
Bringing comfort and love and gently leading their way.



              A     D          A
Won't you set out a traveler's lantern?
                           D          A
Just a small light so that they might see. 
                   E      A         E
To guide them back home before they wander
                           B7           E
Into the dark billows that crash on the sea.
