NOTES [53 words]: It's by no means that this is a song -- Alice Kane called it a "lesson." But better to include it and be safe.
The Bible Text cited is, I think, Matthew 5:16, which in the King James Version reads "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." - RBW
