If deep in the night You hear a voice calling Lost and alone Barely able to speak
With each weary step Through cold shadow they stumble Blindly along Frail, hopeless and weak
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
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
