Flash out the search light, dark is the way,
Some weary wan­d’rer is go­ing as­tray,
Many temp­ta­tions lurk now at his side,
Many the per­ils that in his path hide.

Refrain

Flash out the search light, bright­en the way,
Follow the souls that in darken­ed paths stray,
Search in the high­ways, search in the by­ways,
Tell them that Je­sus bids them come home.

Flash out the search light, bright let it shine,
Bearing the mes­sage of mer­cy divine,
Christ the Re­deem­er who seek­eth for thee,
Offers a par­don so full and so free.

Refrain

Light up the dark­ness, scat­ter the night,
There is a bro­ther who longs for the light,
Now he is fal­ter­ing, do not de­lay,
Flash out the search light and bright­en the way.

Refrain
