I first heard the gospel song Let the Light from the Lighthouse Shine on Me in 1965. It was being played by one of the English traditional jazz revival bands.
I discovered that some think it was composed by Blind Willie Johnson (pictured above) who died in 1945. He certainly recorded it but it is probably an old gospel tune dating back to before even his time.
The correct title could be Let YOUR Light from the Lighthouse Shine on Me. That's what Blind Willie sings.
This is how I now play it on my keyboard.
