African American Heritage Hymnal ‎#527

527. Shine On Me

1 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Come unto me and rest.
Lay down thou weary one, lay down
Thy head upon my breast.”

Refrain:
Shine on me, Shine on me.
Let the light from the lighthouse,
Shine on me.
Shine on me. Shine on me.
Let the light from the lighthouse
shine on me.

2 With pitying eyes the Prince of Peace
Beheld our helpless grief;
He saw, and O amazing love!
He came to our relief. [Refrain]
