Jesus Bids us Shine

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 small corner and I in mine

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, to see us shine
You in your small corner and I in mine

Jesus bids us shine, then, for all around
Many kinds of darkness in this world abound
Sin and want and sorrow, so we must shine
You in your small corner and I in mine
