1 Tho' when walking down life's valley,
Oft the vale is fill'd with dread;
Yet when e'er I look above me,
There is sunlight over head.
Chorus:
Just above the sun is shining,
Then no more the shadows dread;
But remember when repining,
There is sunlight over head.
2 Tis the sun that makes the shadows,
So no matter where we tread;
Let us sing when days are gloomy,
There is sunlight over head. [Chorus]
3 In this world of sin and sorrow,
Trials on ev'ry hand are spread;
Yet my heart keeps singing ever,
There is sunlight over head. [Chorus]
4 When at last I walk the valley,
And the shadow of the dead;
My dear Lord will whisper to me,
There is sunlight over head. [Chorus]
