a Negro Spiritual

Shine on Me

Intro (last line of chorus)

Chorus Shine on me. Shine on me.

Let the Light from the lighthouse shine on me.

Shine on me. Shine on me.

Let the Light from the lighthouse shine on me.

Verse 1 I heard the voice of Jesus say,

“Come unto to Me and rest.

Lay down thou weary one lay down

Thy head upon My breast.”

Chorus (ritard at END)

Verse 2 With pitying eyes the Prince of Peace

(optional) Beheld our helpless grief

He saw, and O amazing love!

He came to our relief.
