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 Surely Find A Need,
Here Reflect The Bright And Morning Star;
Even From Your Humble Hand The Bread Of Life May Feed,
Brighten The Corner Where You Are.
