This Little Light

This Little Light of Mine


“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.”
 ~ John 1:5

This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine,
I’m gonna let it shine,
let it shine, let it shine, oh let it shine.

This beloved hymn was written by Harry Dixon Loes in the early 20th century. Its lyrics are simple to easily remember and recite, with “light of mine” having a powerful meaning of the love and truth of Jesus Christ. This hymn is a wonderful way to reinforce faith and confidence in Jesus!

as you go

Carry sunshine with you,

   Brother, as you go;

Cheerfulness will lighten

   Many a weight of woe.

Angels guard the pathway

   Darkened by our fears,

Sunshine makes a rainbow

   Even of our tears.
