Jesus Bids Us Shine lyrics

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
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 the world abound;
Sin and want and sorrow, so we must shine
You in your small corner
And I in mine

Jesus bids us shine as we work for Him
Bringing those that wander
From the paths of sin;
He will ever help us if we shine
You in your small corner
And I in mine
