Ogdon, 1913 Copyright: Public 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. |

I didn't remember the verses, just the chorus. The tempo is moderately fast {I'm not sure if that is correct "musicalese"}. I'm trying to say that "Brighten The Corner Where You Are" wasn't a fast song and it wasn't a slow song. It was "in between". [How's that for someone who has the nerve to post on a music discussion forum?} :o} If you have a Rhapsody account {which I don't} you can listen to and download a rendition of this song by The Mills Brothers. http://www.rhapsodylive.com/rhapsody/lp-015-af032/kw/brighten%20the%20corner%20where%20you%20are |
