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. Refrain 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. Refrain 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. Refrain 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. Refrain
