Crowning Day, No. 6 ‎#209

209. Let in the Sunlight

1 Are you walking in sin and in darkness?
Is your heart shadowed o’er as the night?
Throw its portals wide open t’ward heaven
And its shining and beautiful light.

Refrain:
Let the sunlight of heav’n shine in,
Let the sunlight of heav’n shine in;
It will gladden and cheer, fruits of love will appear,
Let the beautiful sunlight shine in.

2 You are living too far from the Saviour,
And your life loses half its delight;
You must live your life nearer t heaven,
And its shining and beautiful light. [Refrain]

3 Only souls that are free from defilement,
And in Jesus renewed and made white,
Walk beneath the pavilion of heaven,
In its shining and beautiful light. [Refrain]
