Jesus Bids us Shine

"Jesus Bids us Shine" is a children's hymn with words by Susan Bogert Warner (1819-1885) and music by Edwin Othello Excell (1851-1921). It was first published in the children's magazine "The Little Corporal" in 1868. Actor Leo McKern is heard singing the famous last line "You in your small corner, And I in mine" in the comedic film "Decline and Fall... of a Birdwatcher" (1968).

:"Jesus bids us shine, :"With a pure, clear light," :"Like a little candle, :"Burning in the night" :"In this world of darkness, :"So let us shine--":"You in your small corner, :"And I in mine."

:"Jesus bids us shine, :"First of all for Him;":"Well He sees and knows it, :"If our light growss dim;":"He looks down from heaven, :"To see us shine--":"You in your small corner, :"And I in mine."

:"Jesus bids us shine, :"Then, for all around":"Many kinds of darkness :"In this world abound -":"Sin, and want, and sorrow; :"So we must shine,":"You in your small corner, :"And I in mine."
