1. This little light of mine,
I'm gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I'm gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I'm gonna let it shine,
let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

2. Out in the darkest night,
I'm gonna let it shine.
Out in the darkest night,
I'm gonna let it shine.
Out in the darkest night,
I'm gonna let it shine,
let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

3. Deep down in my soul,
I'm gonna let it shine.
Deep down in my soul,
I'm gonna let it shine.
Deep down in my soul,
I'm gonna let it shine,
let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.
