Representative Text

1 Are you shining for Jesus, my brother,
Shining so clear and so bright,
That the souls that are perishing around you
May be guided to Him by your light?

Refrain:
Shining for Jesus,
Are you shining today?
Shining for Jesus,
Shining all the way.
Shining for Jesus,
In this world of care;
Shining for Jesus,
Shining everywhere.

2 Are you shining for Jesus, my brother,
Shining in deed and in word?
Is your life by its purity showing
The likeness of Jesus your Lord? [Refrain]

3 Are you shining for Jesus, my brother,
Shining for truth and for right,
Where bold unbelief and its minions
Are posing as angels of light? [Refrain]

4 Oh! shine out for Jesus, my brother,
Shine where He needs you the most;
And shine where the darkness hangs deepest
O’er the path of the straying and lost. [Refrain]

5 Shine only and always for Jesus,
Then, when your toiling is o’er,
In mansions of glory eternal
You shall shine as the stars evermore. [Refrain]
