Shining for Jesus

Shining for Jesus everywhere I go,
Shining for Jesus in this world of woe;
Shining for Jesus, more like Him I grow;
Shining all the time for Jesus.

Refrain

Shining all the time, shining all the time;
Shining for Jesus, beams of love divine;
Glorifying Him every day and hour;
Shining all the time for Jesus.

Shining for Jesus when the way is bright;
Shining for Jesus in the darkest night;
Shining for Jesus, making burdens light;
Shining all the time for Jesus.

Refrain

Author: E. O. Excell

Edwin Othello Excell (1851-1921) is the most commonly credited author for both words and music of this gospel song. Some hymnals list the text as anonymous or by an unknown author with music by E. O. Excell; a few early printings attribute the words to 'F. E. B.' (possibly F. E. Belden), but Excell is the predominant attribution.
