Lights of Mousehole
Engines failed & not too far
from deadly rocks drifts Union Star
Captain Moreton, his family and crew
pray for help, as the storm winds blew
 
(Chorus)
Please St Brendan, Lord of hosts
Watch over those who work our coasts
Protect them from the raging seas
And give them love and life and peace
A Sea King sent, to weather the gale
To lift them off, to no avail
From Penlee Point came Solomon Browne
Eight men aboard, no backing down
 
(Chorus)
Please St Brendan, watch our coasts
Protect the ones we love the most
Shield them from the raging seas
And give them love and hope and peace
 Pitched and tossed in mighty waves
Brave Coxswain Richards tried to save
The stricken crew at any cost
But every mortal soul was lost
 
All Cornwall mourned, in Christmas week
For sixteen souls, the county weeps
For Solomon Browne and her company
And all those lost upon the sea
Each Christmas time, for those that died,
The lights of Mousehole, are dimmed with pride
For lifeboat crews who heed the call
Who put to seas and give their all
 
(Chorus)
  
Please St Brendan, Lord of hosts
Watch over those who work our coasts
Protect them from the raging seas
And give them love and life and peace
 
(Chorus A’Capella)
 
Please St Brendan, watch our coast
Protect the ones we love the most
Protect them from the raging seas
And give them love and life and peace
(Chorus)
Please St Brendan, Lord of hosts
Watch over those who work our coasts
Protect them from the raging seas
And give them love and life and peace
