Text:God is our light and God is our sunshine
Author:Richard Nuttall (1891-1946)

316. God is our light and God is our sunshine

1 God is our light and God is our sunshine,
Lighting our pathway from day unto day;
In him we trust when all else seems dreary,
For with his sunshine he brightens our way.

Refrain:
Sunshine, sunshine, shining along our pathway,
Guiding, guiding, just where the Saviour would go;
Shining, shining when all the wav seems gloomy,
Jesus lights our way up to Glory with sunshine rays.

2 Sometimes we’re tempted, often grow weary,
‘Tis for the sunshine at such times we pray;
Then through the dark his bright rays come beaming,
Turning our darkness and fears all away.
