Shining for Jesus

By Lilla M. Alexander

“They that be wise shall shine.”
ARE you shining for Jesus, my brother, Shining so clear and so bright That the souls that are perishing round you May be guided to him by your light?
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?
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?
O, 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.
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.
— Lilla M. Alexander.
