I am only a toiler of humble estate,
And often at fault may be;
But Thou, in Thy mercy so loving and great,
Canst let Thy light shine thro’ me.
Let Thy light shine thro’ me,
Let Thy light shine thro’ me;
O strengthen my faith, new courage inspire,
And let Thy light shine thro’ me.
I am only a keeper of somebody’s door,
And ever on watch must be;
To men, who in passing shall enter no more,
O let Thy light shine thro’ me.
Let Thy light shine thro’ me,
Let Thy light shine thro’ me;
O strengthen my faith, new courage inspire,
And let Thy light shine thro’ me.
I am only a wanderer over life’s way,
Where many a wreck I see;
Grant, Lord, that my hand may help someone some day,
O let Thy light shine thro’ me.
Let Thy light shine thro’ me,
Let Thy light shine thro’ me;
O strengthen my faith, new courage inspire,
And let Thy light shine thro’ me.
I am only a sufferer, learning to wait
Till I shall from earth be free—
O grant me an entrance at Heaven’s fair gate,
Lord, let Thy light shine thro’ me.
Let Thy light shine thro’ me,
Let Thy light shine thro’ me;
O strengthen my faith, new courage inspire,
And let Thy light shine thro’ me.
