- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
