Representative Text

1 Be a little light for Jesus,
Shine on brightly day by day,
Some one wand’ring in the darkness,
May be guided by its ray.
Think not that it does not matter
If your little light grow dim,
Let it brightly shine for Jesus,
It may lead some soul to Him.

Refrain:
Be a little light for Jesus,
Shine on brightly day by day,
Someone wand’ring in the darkness,
May be guided by its ray.

2 Be a little light for Jesus,
Shine on brightly like a star,
O you may not know how many
Catch its radiance from afar.
Some one groping in the shadows,
Some one strayed in sin’s dark night,
May behold it ceaseless shining
And be led to Christ the Light. [Refrain]
