Oh Why Not Let Your Candlestick Shine

Oh! Why not let your candlesticks shine?
All of you redeemed sons and daughters
Of Jesus Christ.  Jesus Christ is the true
Candlelight. Basking in the glow of his
Shining candlestick. Illuminating 
Brightly for the whole wide wonderful
World to see!

Oh! Do not hide your candlelight!
Do not stop shining brightly admits.
The darkness of the night time sky.
Now is not the time to shut your eyes.
Behold his stars are twinkling like
Diamonds in the night time sky. 
Really makes you even wonder why?


Oh! Do not hide your candlestick!
Do not like Satan put it out!
Keep it it lite so the world may
See your good works and
Glorify your heavenly Father!
We love him because he
First loved us! Spread
The gospel light!

And let your gospel light
Keep on shinning from
Shore to shore. And
sea from shining sea.
Keep on telling the
Old old story of Jesus
And his mercy and love!

Love in Christ Jesus!
