Jesus Bids Us Shine
Susan Warner (1881) • English
Primary Scripture: Matthew 5:14-16
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
Verse 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.
