Be a Ray of Sunshine

Author: Anna Belle Russell Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #474 First Line: Be a ray of sunshine everywhere you go Refrain First Line: Be a ray of sunshine everywhere you go Lyrics: 1. Be a ray of sunshine everywhere you go, Shining for the Savior with a steady glow; Bringing smiles to sad ones, wiping tears away, Make yourself a blessing every passing day. Refrain Be a ray of sunshine everywhere you go, Shining for the Savior with a steady glow; Be a ray of sunshine filled with Heaven’s light, Sending forth a message beautiful and bright. 2. Be a ray of sunshine everywhere you go; Comfort bring to others, stoop to raise the low; Kind words cost but little, smiles bring pleasures, too; They may lift a burden; let them not be few. [Refrain] 3. Be a ray of sunshine everywhere you go; Cheerfulness is needed, this you can bestow; Help to chase the shadows from this world away, Bringing joy and gladness like a shining ray. [Refrain] 4. Be a ray of sunshine everywhere you go; Stars will shine the brighter in your crown, I know; Sunshine brought to others will reflect on you, Heav’n will be the sweeter—keep the end in view. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Be a ray of sunshine everywhere you go]
