Sheet music
- 1Jesus bids us shine, with a pure, clear 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 is dim;He looks down from heaven, sees us shine,You in your small corner, and I in mine.
- 2Jesus bids us shine, then, for all aroundMany kinds of darkness in this world abound:Sin and want and sorrow- we must shine,You in your small corner, and I in mine.
