United Praise ‎#31

31. Shine All the Day

1 Little ray of golden sunshine
From the smiling skies above,
On your wings of light haste downward,
Shining out the Father’s love.

Refrain:
Shine, shine, all the happy day,
Driving clouds away, making hearts so gay;
Shine, shine, from the skies above,
Little golden sunbeam, showing Jesus’ love.

2 Flowers lift their head to greet you,
For they need your cheering glow;
Birds sing out their sweetest music,
As you hasten down below. [Refrain]

3 There’s a better, brighter sunshine
Rich and poor alike may share;
‘Tis the love of God so precious,
Gleaming round us everywhere. [Refrain]
