14. Sunshine in the Soul

1 There's sunshine in my soul to-day,
More glorious and bright
Than glows in any earthly sky,
For Jesus is my light.

Refrain:
Oh, there's sunshine, blessed sunshine,
When the peaceful, happy moments roll;
When Jesus shows his smiling face
There is sunshine in the soul.

2 There's music in my soul to-day,
A carol to my King,
And Jesus, listening, can hear
The songs I cannot sing. [Refrain]

3 There's springtime in my soul to-day,
For when the Lord is near
The dove of peace sings in my heart,
The flowers of grace appear. [Refrain]

4 There's gladness in my soul to-day,
And hope, and praise, and love,
For blessings which he gives me now,
For joys "laid up" above. [Refrain]
