Let Your Light Shine

Composer: Mrs. G. W. Burroughs, 1890

Brother

you’ve come to the Lord;

You be­lieve in His ho­ly word

And its light has shone on your heart;

Oh! my bro­ther

ne’er let it de­part.

Let your light shine

oh

let it now shine

Out from your heart o’er the world;

Do some­thing

tho’ it’s lit­tle

Out of love for your Lord.

Brother

your Lord lived for you

As the hum­blest of hum­ble do;

And for you He will­ing­ly died

To re­deem you

and all men be­side.

Brother

you may real­ly think

And by this from your du­ty shrink

That for you there’s no­thing to do;

But

my bro­ther

that can’t be. No! No!

Brother

your tal­ents may be

Neither five

nor yet two or three;

But you cer­tain­ly must have one;

Then

ar­ouse you! be­fore that is gone.
