Live in the Sunshine of God's Love

Author: James Rowe Hymnal: The King of Glory #45 (1918) First Line: If you would sing along life's way Refrain First Line: Always live in the sunshine Lyrics: 1 If you would sing along life’s way, And fearlessly your faith display;— If you would help the Lord each day, Always live in the sunshine. Refrain: Always live in the sunshine, Gleaming from heav’n above; The blessed glorious sunshine, Of your Redeemer’s love. 2 If you would comfort those who grieve, And weary, burdened souls relieve; If blessings rich you would receive, Always live in the sunshine. [Refrain] 3 If you would make the world more bright By sending out the gospel light, And helping men to live aright, Always live in the sunshine. [Refrain] 4 If daily you would grow in grace, And ev’ry doubt by faith replace, If you would see your Savior’s face, Always live in the sunshine. [Refrain] Tune Title: [If you would sing along life's way]
