Jesus bids us shine with a pure clear light
Like a little candle burning in the night
In this world of darkness we must shine
You in your corner, I in mine.
Jesus bids us shine through the gloom around
Many kinds of darkness in this world are found
Sin and want and sorrow so we shine
You in your corner, I in mine.
When we shine for others we shine 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, I in mine.
Jesus is the bright ligh of love divine
When on him we're looking, then it is we shine
Like the silver moon with borrowed light
Each in his corner, doing right.
