Heavenly Sunlight

Author: C. R. Piety Hymnal: The King of Kings #29 (1915) First Line: When the day is dreary, and your heart is sad Refrain First Line: Let the heav’nly sunlight in Lyrics: 1 When the day is dreary, and your heart is sad, Let the heav’nly sunlight in; Look to Christ your Savior, He will make you glad; Let the heav’nly sunlight in. Refrain: Let the heav’nly sunlight in, Let the heav’nly sunlight in; Be a living light for Jesus day and night, Let the heav’nly sunlight in. 2 When your doubts distress you and your fears arise, Let the heav’nly sunlight in; It will drive the storm-clouds quickly from your skies; Let the heav’nly sunlight in. [Refrain] 3 When the conflict rages and you almost fail, Let the heav’nly sunlight in; Ne’er give o’er the battle, you shall yet prevail; Let the heav’nly sunlight in. [Refrain] 4 When your day is waning and your work is done, Let the heav’nly sunlight in; It will guide you safely home to Christ the Son; Let the heav’nly sunlight in. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [When the day is dreary, and your heart is sad]
