1 Our Lord and Saviour bids us shine,
In all we do and say;
Our lamps, well filled with gospel grace,
Must burn both night and day;
Thro’ patient, self-denying love
And steadfast faith divine,
Thro’ strict obedience to his law,
The Saviour bids us shine.

Refrain:
Shine, shine, let our light shine,
Shine, shine, let our light shine,
Oh, let our light before the world
Shine forth with constant flame,
That all may see and glorify
Our heavenly Father’s name.

2 Our hand must clothe the humble poor,
Our store the hungry feed,
Our homes the stranger must receive
And shelter in his need;
Each other burdens we must bear,
Each others faults forgive,
And thus in perfect peace with all,
And perfect union, live. [Refrain]

3 If as the branch within the vine
Our love in Christ abide,
If he is ours and we are his,
Our light we cannot hide;
Dear Saviour, keep thine own from sin
And selfish feeling free;
And grant that others thro’ our light
May find their way to thee. [Refrain]
