183. Sunbeams Bright

1 Just a little sunbeam bright,
Swiftly earthward winging,
Waking up the sleeping flow'rs,
Joy and gladness bringin.

Chorus:
Shining brightly ev'ry day,
Driving gloomy clouds away,
Little sunbeams we would be,
Pointing ever, Lord, to Thee.

2 Just a little sunbeam bright,
Down from heaven shining,
Giving clouds that look so drear,
Each a silver lining. [Chorus]

3 Just a little sunbeam bright,
Doing well its duty,
Telling of the Father's love,
Filling earht with beauty. [Chorus]
