English Lyrics:
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.
CHORUS:
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.
Music: Charles Hutchinson Gabriel 1913 [Brighten The Corner]
Lyrics: Ina Duley Ogdon 1913 "Do Not Wait Until Some Deed Of Greatness You May Do"
Scripture: Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. — Matthew 5:14-16

![Battle of Rebirth [Star Wars]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ybPbVRt-x-8/mqdefault.jpg "Battle of Rebirth [Star Wars]
Herz-Verlag, January 25, 2018
Now there is the battle of rebirth in the processes of transformation. What is planted in the seed must unfold. The old consciousness of the seed to remain always just a seed, small and inconspicuous, must first die and rise again into the consciousness of its destiny, for example to be an oak tree. Im an oak tree, says the seed, and everything laughs. What are you? An oak tree? and the world laughs at the caterpillar: What are you? A butterfly? And even the caterpillar then laughs at itself and fights in its consciousness against the destiny of being a butterfly by looking at itself, remaining in its apparent condition. And man remains in this condition far too often, and his little faith becomes unbelief, because so many remain in unbelief and do not want to let themselves be converted into the new, into the original destiny of divinity, but rather would see it condemned to the norm of the natural instead of the supernatural life in Me, having condemned themselves to it.
Original German:
Nun gibt es bei den Umwandlungsprozessen den Kampf der Neuwerdung. Das, was im Samen angelegt ist, muss sich entfalten. Das alte Bewusstsein des Samens, nur und immer nur ein Same zu bleiben, klein und unscheinbar, muss erst sterben und auferstehen in das Bewusstsein seiner Bestimmung, zum Beispiel eine Eiche zu sein. Ich bin eine Eiche, sagt der Same, und alles lacht. Was bist du? Eine Eiche? und die Welt lacht über die Raupe: Was bist du? Ein Schmetterling? Und selbst die Raupe lacht dann über sich selbst und kämpft in ihrem Bewusstsein gegen die Bestimmung, Schmetterling zu sein, indem sie auf sich selbst schaut, in ihrer augenscheinlichen Verfassung verharrt. Und in dieser Verfassung verharrt der Mensch zu oft, und sein Kleinglaube wird zum Unglauben, weil so viele im Unglauben verharren und sich nicht in die neue bzw. alte Bestimmung zur Göttlichkeit einkehren lassen wollen, sondern sie zur Norm des natürlichen, statt übernatürlichen Lebens in Mir verdammt sehen wollen, weil sie sich selbst dazu verdammt haben.")
