Composer: | Edwin O. Excell, 1851-1921 |
1 Jesus bids us shine with a clear, pure light,
Like a little candle burning in the night;
In this world of darkness we must shine,
You in your small corner, and I in mine.
2 Jesus bids us shine, first of all for Him;
Well He sees and knows it if our light is dim;
He looks down from heaven, sees us shine,
You in your small corner, and I in mine.
3 Jesus bids us shine, then, for all around
Many kinds of darkness in this world abound--
Sin, and want, and sorrow: we must shine,
You in your small corner, and I in mine.
4 Jesus bids us shine, as we work for Him,
Bringing those that wander from the paths of sin;
He will ever help us, if we shine,
You in your small corner, and I in mine.
