Brighten Your Corner!

Brighten the Corner Where You Are
By Ina D. Ogden 1913

Matthew 5:14-16

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.

Refrain:
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!

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.

Here for all your talent you may surly find a need,
Here reflect the bright and Morning Star;
Even from you humble hand the Bread of Life may feed,
Brighten the corner where you are.

This is such a cheerful encouraging song!~Alyssa
