The Golden Sheaf ‎#63

63. "Let Your Light So Shine"

1 "Let your light so shine," said Jesus,
"Let your light so shine before men,"
That they your good works may discover,
And glory to God shall attend.

Chorus:
Shine on, shine on,
"Let your light so shine before men";
Shine on, shine on,
And glory to God shall attend.

2 Yes, "ye are the light," said Jesus,
"The light of the world," thus he said,
A city that's set on the hilltop,
From no longing eye can be hid. [Chorus]

3 The oil we have is God's Spirit,
The blaze that shines out is his word,
So let us have both in abundance,
That thro' us the truth may be heard. [Chorus]
