28. The Sunshine of His Love

1 Long a hopeless soul I wandered, in the sinful vale of night,
And no earthly friend could hope or cheer impart;
But the loving Saviour found me, and I’m walking in the light,
For the sunshine of his love is in my heart.

Refrain:
Yes, the sunshine of his love is in my heart,
And the joy which only Jesus can impart;
I am happy day and night,
And my way is always bright,
For the sunshine of his love is in my heart.

2 I was helpless and despairing, like a sailor on the sea
In a storm, without a compass or a chart,
But the loving Saviour found me, and today I’m strong and free,
For the sunshine of his love is in my heart. [Refrain]

3 O if life is dark and hopeless, if your soul is lost in sin,
And to you the world no comfort can impart—
If, with hope and joy and courage, life anew you would begin,
Let the love of Jesus shine within your heart. [Refrain]
