Jesus Bids us Shine

G                           D7
Jesus bids us shine, with a clear, pure light,
D7                   G
Like a little candle burning in the night;
G                         C       G
In this world of darkness we must shine,
G                 G7          D7   G
You in your small corner, and I in mine.
 
 
G                             D7
Jesus bids us shine, first of all for Him;
D7                        G
Well He sees and knows it if our light is dim;
G                             C      G
He looks down from heaven, to see us shine,
G                 G7          D7   G
You in your small corner, and I in mine.
 
 
G                          D7
Jesus bids us shine, then, for all around
D7                      G
Many kinds of darkness in this world abound-
G                             C       G
Sin, and want, and sorrow: so we must shine,
G                 G7          D7   G
You in your small corner, and I in mine.
 
 
G                          D7
Jesus bids us shine, as we work for Him
D7                                  G
Bringing those that wander from the paths of sin;
G                    C     G
He will ever help us if we shine,
G                 G7          D7   G
You in your small corner, and I in mine.
