15081. Let Your Light Shine

1 Brother, you’ve come to the Lord;
You believe in His holy word,
And its light has shone on your heart;
Oh! my brother, ne’er let it depart.

Refrain:
Let your light shine, oh, let it now shine,
Out from your heart o’er the world;
Do something, tho’ it’s little,
Out of love for your Lord.

2 Brother, your Lord lived for you
As the humblest of humble do;
And for you He willingly died
To redeem you, and all men beside. [Refrain]

3 Brother, you may really think,
And by this from your duty shrink,
That for you there’s nothing to do;
But, my brother, that can’t be. No! No! [Refrain]

4 Brother, your talents may be
Neither five, nor yet two or three;
But you certainly must have one;
Then, arouse you! before that is gone. [Refrain]
