Brighten the Corner Where You Are

Verse 1
Do not wait un­til some deed
Of great­ness you may do,
Do not wait to shed your light afar,
To the ma­ny du­ties
Ever near you now be true,
Brighten the cor­ner where you are. (Matt. 5:16)

Chorus
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!

Verse 2
Just ab­ove are cloud­ed skies
That you may help to clear,
Let not nar­row self your way de­bar;
Though in­to one heart alone
May fall your song of cheer,
Brighten the cor­ner where you are.

Verse 3
Here for all your tal­ent you
May sure­ly find a need,
Here re­flect the bright and Morn­ing Star; (Rev. 22:16)
Even from your hum­ble hand
The Bread of Life may feed, (John 6:35, John 6:48)
Brighten the cor­ner where you are.
