Fill Your Life with Sunshine

Author: Edith Sanford Tillotson Hymnal: His Worthy Praise #134 (1915) First Line: Fill your life with sunshine from those cloudless skies Lyrics: 1 Fill your life with sunshine from those cloudless skies, Where the never-fading lights in splendor rise; Fill it with the rays that burn for faith’s clear eyes, Fill your life with sunshine from above. Refrain: Fill your life with sunshine! Blessed heav’nly sunshine! Fill your life with sunshine from above! Fill it with the glory of redeeming love, Fill your life with sunshine from above. 2 Open wide your heart and let his light shine in, Driving out all hidden wrong and secret sin; Let the healing presence now its work begin, Fill your life with sunshine from above. [Refrain] 3 Let His blessed sunshine on your pathway shine Turn the eyes of others to the source divine; Say to all, “that light will gladden thee and thine, Fill your life with sunshine from above.” [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Fill your life with sunshine from those cloudless skies]

1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[Fill your life with sunshine from those cloudless skies]" in His Worthy Praise William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia.

Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
