1 Lord, into some dreary spot
Where thy brightness shineth not,
Weak and humble tho’ I be,
Let me bear a light for thee.

Refrain:
Let me bear a light for thee,
Let me bear a light for thee;
Savior, listen to my plea,
Let me bear a light for thee.

2 Let the rays of love and cheer
Drive away the gloom of fear;
Weak and humble tho’ I be,
Let me bear a light for thee. [Refrain]

3 May thy grace within me glow,
And thy glory faintly show;
Weak and humble tho’ I be,
Let me bear a light for thee. [Refrain]
