Shine Jesus bids us shine,
With a pure, clear light;
Like a little candle
Burning in the night.
In this world of darkness,
So 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 grow dim.
He looks down from heaven
To see us shine—
You in your small corner,
And I in mine.
