Be a Beacon of Righteousness

Author: C. A. M. Hymnal: Jubilate #19 (1917) First Line: As a lighthouse on the shore Refrain First Line: Then shine, shine, shine Lyrics: 1 As a lighthouse on the shore, When the stormy billows roar, Sends its blessed light across the surging wave; So a Christian’s joy should be Standing by life’s boisterous sea, To let his light shine out some soul to save. Refrain: Then shine, shine, shine Over all the way today, Be a Beacon of Righteousness, And send abroad your blessed ray; Then shine, shine, shine, O do not your light confine, Be a Beacon of Righteousness, And shine, shine, shine. 2 Of the world ye are the light, Ever shining clear and bright, That a doubting soul my know which way to go; And no matter what may come, Be a light to guide those home, Who struggle on in sorrow or in woe. [Refrain] 3 For the Lord a light to be, That a weary one may see Who travels on the upward path alone, Is a richer diadem, Than a crown of priceless gem That decks a monarch on his royal throne. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [As a lighthouse on the shore]

C. Austin Miles

1868 - 1946 Person Name: C. A. M. Author of "Be a Beacon of Righteousness" in Jubilate Charles Austin Miles USA 1868-1946. Born at Lakehurst, NJ, he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of PA. He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell. In 1892 he abandoned his pharmacy career and began writing gospel songs. At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years. He felt he was serving God better in the gospel song writing business, than as a pharmacist. He published the following song books: “New songs of the gospel” (1900), “The service of praise” (1900), “The voice of praise” (1904), “The tribute of song” (1904), “New songs of the gospel #2” (1905), “Songs of service” (1910), “Ideal Sunday school hymns” (1912). He wrote and/or composed 400+ hymns. He died in Philadelphia, PA. John Perry
