Hymn 212 - Jesus Bids Us Shine

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 is dim;

He looks down from heaven,

Sees us shine,

You in your small corner,

And I in mine.

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.

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.
