O let your light, tho’ lit­tle, shine out,
Our Lord’s com­mand ful­fill­ing,
To live for Him wher­ev­er we go,
And seek His will to do.

Refrain

Shine on, lit­tle light, shine on,
Shine on so bright and clear;
Shine on, lit­tle light, and bring
A smile for ev’ry tear.

O let your light shine stea­di­ly on,
That all the world, be­hold­ing,
May glo­ri­fy your Fa­ther above,
And praise His bound­less love.

Refrain

O let your light shine cheer­ful­ly on,
When cloud and storm are break­ing,
Its beams may lead some sor­row-op­pressed
To yon­der Ark of Rest.

Refrain

O let your light shine peace­ful­ly on
Till earth­ly cares are end­ed,
And night and gloom shall van­ish away
In joy’s eter­nal day.

Refrain
