Tune:[Little lights are shining]
Composer:William James Kirkpatrick, (1838- )

300. Little lights are shining

1 Little lights are shining
To the Saviour’s praise;
Little feet are marching
In His pleasant ways.

Refrain:
Marching, marching,
In His ways so bright;
Marching, onward marching,
Children of the Light.

2 Shining all for Jesus,
Every passing day,
When we try to please Him,
And His word obey. [Refrain]

3 Shining all for Jesus,
Showing forth His love;
He’s our precious Saviour,
He’s our Friend above. [Refrain]

4 Shining all for Jesus;
As we onward go,
Little rays of gladness
We around us throw. [Refrain]
