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 the world are found, Sin, and want, and sorrow So we must shine You in your small corner, And I in mine.
