10975. Let Your Light So Shine

1 Let your light shine forth in the darkness
Of a world oppressed by sin,
On human hearts that need your help
To lighten the gloom within.

Refrain:
Let your light so shine,
Let your light so shine
That they may see your good works,
And glorify God in Heav’n.

2 Let your lips speak forth the praises
Of the Christ who set you free,
From slavish fear and sinful life
To His joyous liberty. [Refrain]

3 Let your life reveal the riches
Of a soul inspired by love,
That others, too, may catch the strain
And honor your God above. [Refrain]

4 Let your love show forth in service
That the world in you may see
The living Christ pervades your life,
His Spirit abiding free. [Refrain]
