  ***IF YOU LIKE THIS THEN PLEASE SUBSCRIBE*** "This Little Light of Mine" is a gospel children's song written by Harry Dixon Loes (1895-1965) in about 1920. Loes, who studied at the Moody Bible Institute and the American Conservatory of Music, was a musical composer, and teacher, who wrote, and co-wrote, several other gospel songs. The song has since entered the folk tradition, first being collected by John Lomax in 1939. Often thought of as a Negro spiritual, it does not, however, appear in any collection of jubilee or plantation songs from the nineteenth century. The song takes its theme from Mathew 5:16, "Let your light shine before men, that they may see your fine works and give glory to your Father who is in the heaven:" This little light o' mine, I'm goin' let it shine, This little light o' mine, I'm goin' let it shine, This little light o' mine, I'm goin' let it shine, Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine. It is usually published with a set of hand movements to be used for the instruction of children. Under the influence of Zilphia Horton, Fannie Lou Hamer and others it eventually became a Civil Rights anthem in the 1950s and 1960s. The Seekers recorded it for their second UK album, Hide & Seekers (also known as The Four & Only Seekers) in 1964. Over time it also became a very popular children's song, recorded and performed by the likes of Raffi in the 1980s. With lyrics in Swedish, the song was recorded as "Det lilla ljus" by Carola Häggkvist. A recording of the song by Paul Robeson can be heard in Sidney Lumet's 1983 film Daniel. A portion of the song can be heard in the movie Black Snake Moan, sung by Christina Ricci. What is BJG?
