First Line: Brother, do you shine for jesus
Last Line: Ever any less in him?
Subject(s): Jesus Christ; Life
Brother, do you shine for Jesus,
Is your life a life of light;
Always radiant and brilliant,
Ever shining clear and bright?
Say, oh, brother, are you shining,
Any time and anywhere,
Every day and every night,
Always shining bright and clear?
Do others see your light, dear brother,
And the good work that you do,
And are they constrained, dear brother,
To glorify your Father, too?
Does your blessed light, dear brother,
Ever grow the least bit dim,
Or your love and faith and patience,
Ever any less in Him?
