1.主叫我发光,发出明亮光,
像支小小蜡烛,在黑夜辉煌；
在这黑暗世界,要发光,
各在自己地方,都要发光。
2.主既赐恩光,照亮我心中,
我也应当发光,照我自家人；
因知罪恶痛苦,我愿发光,
你照你的一方,我照我方。
3.耶稣望我光,辉煌照一乡,
若我光不明亮,何颜对主光？
主怜黑暗弟兄,愿我发光,
你照你的一方,我照我方。
4.耶稣望我光,照在众人前,
犹如光明银烛,照在黑夜间；
世间黑暗无光,愿我发光,
你照你的一方,我照我方。
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.
4 Jesus bids us shine, as we work for Him,
Bringing those that wander from the paths of sin;
He will ever help us, if we shine,
You in your small corner, and I in mine.
