Songs of Matchless Love ‎#63

63. Let God's Sunshine In

1 Live not ‘mid the shadows,
Come into the light;
Stay not in the valley,
Climb up to the height;
Why should you be mournful,
Soul, cleans’d from thy sin?
Throw open your heart-door,
And let the light come in.

Refrain:
Let the sunshine in,
Let the sunshine in,
Open, soul, the portals wide, and let the light come in.
Why should you be mournful,
Soul, cleans’d from thy sin?
Throw open your heart-door,
And let the light come in.

2 O pity the erring
Still going astray!
Go speak to them kindly,
For help them you may;
Some wand’rer among them
To Christ you may win;
Some heart you may open,
And let the light come in. [Refrain]

3 Throw open your heart-door,
Let heaven come in,
Take in all the sunshine,
But shut out the sin;
Then you will be fitted
God’s work to begin,
To banish earth’s darkness,
And let the light come in. [Refrain]
