Representative Text

1 Let your light shine, let your light shine,
That others may behold!
Its glowing rays perchance may bring
Some wand’rer to the fold.

Refrain:
Let your light shine out ‘mid the darkness on your journey,
Let your light shine, O let it shine;
It may prove a beacon light to some trav’ler in the night;
Let your light shine, brightly shine.

2 Let your light shine, let your light shine,
And shed its beams abroad;
‘T will show the world you’re not ashamed
Of Christ, the Lamb of God. [Refrain]

3 Let your light shine, let your light shine,
That all the world may see
Your works of mercy and of love,
That they may follow thee. [Refrain]
