35. Jesus Bids Us Shine

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 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 corner, and I in mine.

3 Jesus bids us shine then for all around
Many kinds of darkness in this world are found--
Sin, and want, and sorrow; so we shine,
You in your corner, and I in mine.
