Jesus Bids Us Shine

1

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.

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 abound;

Sin and want and sorrow, so we must shine,

You in your small corner

And I in mine.

4

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.

Philippians 2:14-16

Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;
