Do Not Chase Away the Sunbeams

Author: Birdie Bell Hymnal: Sunday-School Praises #143 (1900) Refrain First Line: Chase them not away Lyrics: 1 Do not chase away the sunbeams, Cheering us along the way; Let us gather up their brightness, In the heart to live for aye. Refrain: Chase them not away, Let them come today, Gather up the golden sunbeams; Lighting darken’d ways Brightly with their rays, Do not chase away the sun beams. 2 Do not chase away the sunbeams, Treasure each bright, sparkling ray; Keep the beauty and the splendor For the dark and gloomy day. [Refrain] 3 Do not chase away the sunbeams, Welcome them with grateful heart; Take the comfort and the gladness Which the golden rays impart. [Refrain] 4 Do not chase away the sunbeams, Gather ev’ry cheery ray; Hearts are drooping in the darkness, Scatter sunshine on their way. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Do not chase away the sunbeams]
