Jesus Bids Us Shine : Lyrics
1. Jesus bids us shine with a pure, clear light,
Like a little candle burning in the night.
In this world is darkness, so let us shine,
You in your small corner, and I in mine.
2. Jesus bids us shine first of all for Him;
Well He sees and knows it if our light grows dim;
He looks down from heaven to see us shine,
You in your small corner, and I in mine.
3. Jesus bids us shine then, for all around
Many kinds of darkness in this world are found –
Sin, and want, and sorrow; so we must shine,
You in your small corner, and I in mine.
