Tune:[Just a little cloud, tho' blue the skye]
Composer:I. H. Meredith

65. Sunbeam Song

1 Just a little cloud, tho’ blue the sky,
Helps to bring the shower by and by,
Just a little sunshine clear and bright,
Drives away the shadows of the darkest night.

Refrain:
Shining, shining, thro’ the darkest night,
Scatt’rin g sunbeams ever clear and bright;
To the loving Father we belong,
And we bring Him praises in our happy song.

2 Just a little frown , some sunny day,
Helps to drive the brightness all away,
Just a little smile or word of cheer,
Helps to bring God’s sunshine and His presence near. [Refrain]

3 Jesus is our sunshine here below,
In our hearts He’s beaming as we go,
Let us all reflect the blessed light,
Making ev’ry place about us glad and bright. [Refrain]
