Representative Text

1 Let your light shine out, my brother, let it shine,
As you walk along your way,
It will help to light another, let it shine,
With a bright and cheerful ray.

Refrain:
Let it shine, let it shine,
Let your light shine out, let it shine,
Would you guide a soul from darkness to the light?
Would you help some struggling one to win the fight?
Let it shine, let it shine,
Let your light shine out, let it shine.

2 Tho’ your light is but a small one, let it shine,
Joined to Jesus’ light divine,
Thro’ your lift bright beams will shine on, let it shine,
Showing Him in ev’ry line. [Refrain]

3 Hide it not beneath a measure, let it shine,
Let its beams shine all around;
To the world it is a treasure, let it shine,
More than in the world is found. [Refrain]

4 Let your life be full of brightness, let it shine,
Driving clouds of doubt away,
Ev’ry step be full of lightness, let it shine,
For you walk the heav’nly way. [Refrain]
