Brighten the Corner Where You Are

Brighten the Corner Where You Are

C652 E8652

1

Darkness reigns o’er this adult’rous, crooked world today;
Saints should shine, illumine near and far;
Honest and unfeigned, before man shine, God’s life display—
We ought to shine, where’er we are.

Brighten the corner where you are!
Brighten the corner where you are!
Someone far from harbor you may guide across the bar;
Brighten the corner where you are!

2

’Tis the Lord’s command that you before men shine your light.
Him obey, don’t hide, your light to mar.
For a sinner needs a guide to go from dark to light;
Brighten the corner where you are.

3

Right beside you are believers who have gone astray;
For lost sheep, you need not seek afar.
In Christ’s love, exhort, restore, and comfort them today;
Brighten the corner where you are.

4

Stay in fellowship with Jesus and behold His face
If His glorious radiance you’d impart.
Love and serve the Lord sincerely; this will touch men’s hearts;
Brighten the corner where you are.

5

Christ is coming as the Master to reward His slaves;
He appears on high, the Morning Star;
Sinners rescue, saints recover while it’s still today,
Brighten the corner where you are.
