Jesus bids us shine,
With a pure, clear light,
Like a little candle,
Burning in the night.
In this world is darkness,
So, let us shine—
You in your small corner,
And I in mine.
Jesus bids us shine,
Then, for all around
Many kinds of darkness
In this world are found –
Sin and want and sorrow;
So, we must shine,
You in your small corner,
And I in mine.
