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 â 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 is dim; He looks down from heaven, to see us shine â 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 abound : Sin and want and sorrow; so we must shine â You in your small corner, and I in mine.
