If the day be dreary, And the way seem long, Try to make it brighter By a bit of song. Refrain: Try to carry sunshine Everywhere you go; Try to brighten, some way, Lives of those you know; Try to carry sunshine Everywhere you go. 2 Try to be a sunbeam Shining for the Lord, Living in His presence, Feeding on His word. Storms may overtake you, Fearful in their might; Trust to Jesus’ guiding, For with Him ’tis light. [Refrain] 3 If you walk with Jesus, Joyfully each day, Trying to tell others Of the blessèd way, Never fear temptation, He’ll not let you fall; Christ, the Lord, is near you When on Him you call.
