Hi Guest,
Found them! Lyrics are by M. M. Penstone (1859-1910)
When Lamps Are Lighted In the Town
1.
When lamps are lighted in the town,
The boats sail out to sea;
The fishers watch when night comes down,
They work for you and me.
2.
When little children go to rest,
Before they sleep, they pray
That God will bless the fishermen
And bring them back at day.
3.
The boats come in at early dawn,
When children wake in bed;
Upon the beach the boats are drawn,
And all the nets are spread.
4.
God hath watched o'er the fishermen
Far on the deep dark sea,
And brought them safely home again,
Where they are glad to be.
Hope it helps. God bless!
Steve

Hi!
Don't suppose anyone knows where I can get a copy of the musical score for this hymn?
It was my favourite when I was in Primary School and I'd like to teach it to my kids now.
Thanks.

I've been searching for this hymn for ages. We used to sing it at primary school in London and it always gave me a sense of longing for the summer holidays and going down to stay with my great gran by the sea in Devon.

DID ANY OF THE PEOPLE POSTING ABOUT THIS SONG ATTEND ST SAVIOR'S SCHOOL OR CORONA SCHOOL?

I mean, ST SAVIOUR'S SCHOOL. I spelled it the American way in my previous post, which of course wasn't the way it was spelled because it was an English run school in early post colonial Africa which was when I attended it. This was early 1960s; I had school mates from various parts of the world. Those were heady times; great and fun. The turmoil came later, mid to late 1960s as the world experienced great upheavals.

Thank you so much.
