Let it shine, let it shine,
the light of the world that shows the way;
let it shine, let it shine,
and show us peace today.
1 The church bears witness to God's grace,
its mission crystal clear:
to show the world God's human face,
a world that God holds dear. [Refrain]
2 When love replaces human greed,
a lasting peace will come
as hands reach out to human need
from hearts no longer numb. [Refrain]
3 Now let us give ourselves to God
within this war-torn world,
and work till justice walks abroad
with flags of peace unfurled. [Refrain] Topics: Justice and Peace; Peace Languages: English Tune Title: LET IT SHINE
