about

A joyful Christmas song full of the optimism that light brings to the darkness of winter. 'Shine a light into every dark corner' (sing along!).

The song is secular, perfect for holiday celebrations across all religions and cultures. It has been sung in many countries around the world. In Germany, Australia, Canada, and in a tiny village in the North Pole. Share the hope that 'Shine a light' brings.

Chords, sheet music, backing track versions with and without backing vocals are available on the Times Educational Supplement (TES) website. Search for 'Liam Maloy/Shine a light'.

lyrics

Shine a light in the darkness this Christmas.
Shine a light in the rain and the snow.
For the nights are so long in the winter.
Shine a light everywhere that you go.

Shine a light into every dark corner.
Place colourful lights on the tree.
Bring lanterns and torches and candles.
Make Christmas as bright as can be.

Shine! Shine! It’s Christmas time!
Shine! Shine! Shine!
Shine a light into every dark corner.
And shine, shine, shine!

Shine a light for the friends who are with you.
Shine a light for those who have gone.
Let Christmas bring light to your darkness.
So shine on, children, shine on.

Shine! Shine! It’s Christmas time!
Shine! Shine! Shine!
Let Christmas bring light to your darkness.
And shine, shine, shine!
