Text:	Jesus Bids Us Shine
Tune:	[Jesus bids us shine]
Composer:	E. O. Excell

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 is dim.
He looks down from heaven;
Sees 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 this world abound,
Sin and want and sorrow;
We must shine,
You in your small corner,
And I in mine.
