181. We Would Shine

1 The big round sun peeped in my room
In such a cheery way,
He tried to shine his very best,
And said, “Wake up, ‘tis day!”

Chorus:
Like the sunbeams we would shine,
Ev’ry day, ev’ry day;
Like the sunbeams we would shine—
Brightly, all the way.

2 Tho’ only little girls and boys,
Each one can be a light,
And help to make the dear old earth
More beautiful and bright. [Chorus]

3 The big round sun peeped in my room
From skies of blue above,
And when I look up in its face,
It tells me “God is love.” [Chorus]
