Ever as sinks the day on sea or land	A
Called or uncalled you take your kindred posts	B
At helm and lever wheel and switch you stand	A
On the world's wastes and melancholy coasts	B
Strength to the patient hand	A
To all alert and faithful in the night	C
May there by Light	C
	-
Now roars the wrenching train along the dark	D
How many watchers guard the barren way	E
In signal towers at stammering keys to mark	D
The word the whispering horizons say	E
To all that see and hark	D
To all alert and faithful in the night	C
May there be Light	C
	-
On ruthless streets on byways sad with sin	F
Half hated by the blinded ones you guard	G
Guard well lest crime unheeded enter in	F
The dark is cruel and the vigil hard	G
The hours of guilt begin	F
To all alert and faithful in the night	C
May there be Light	C
	-
Now storms the pulsing hull adown the sea	H
Gaze onward anxious eyes to mist or star	I
Where foams the heaving highway blank and free	H
Where wait the reef the berg the cape the bar	I
Whatever menace be	H
To all alert and faithful in the night	C
May there be Light	C
	-
Now the surf rumble rides the midnight wind	J
And grave patrols are on ocean edge	K
Now soars the rocket where the billows grind	J
Discerned too late on sunken shoal or ledge	K
To all that seek and find	J
To all alert and faithful in the night	C
May there be Light	C
	-
On lonely headlands gleam the lamps that warn	L
Star steady or ablink like dragon eyes	M
Govern your rays or wake the giant horn	L
Within the fog that welds the sea and skies	M
Far distant runs the morn	L
To all alert and faithful in the night	C
May there be Light	C
	-
Now glow the lesser lamps in rooms of pain	N
Where nurse and doctor watch the joyless breath	O
Drawn in a sigh and sighing lost again	P
Who waits without the threshold Life or Death	O
Reckon you loss or gain	N
To all alert and faithful in the night	C
May there be Light	C
	-
Honor to you that guard our welfare now	Q
To you that constant in the past have stood	R
To all by whom the future shall avow	Q
Unconquerable fortitude and good	R
Upon the sleepless brow	Q
Of each alert and faithful in the night	C
May there be Light	C
