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, then, for all around
    Many kinds of darkness in this world abound—
    Sin and want and sorrow; we must shine,
    You in your small corner, and I in mine.
