I'll Be a Sunbeam

Author: Thoro Harris Hymnal: Inspiring Songs No. 1 #147 (1906) First Line: I'll be a sunbeam, so brightly gleaming Refrain First Line: O little child, O sunbeam bright Lyrics: 1 I’ll be a sunbeam, so brightly gleaming, A lovely sunbeam from heaven streaming, A holy radiance on others beaming, A lamp of life to lighten all the way; God’s beauteous love-light of hope and kindness, To shed on others in sin and blindness. Refrain: O little child, O sunbeam bright, God sent you here some path to light; Some lonely heart to bless and cheer, The loving Father sent you here; Some life to lift, some heart to bless, Like Christ, the Sun of righteousness; To be a light so sweet and mild, God sent you, little child. 2 I’ll be like Jesus, the light from heaven, Light of the ages to mortals given, Who left his glory, his home in heaven, To shed abroad the radiance of his love; My sweetest pleasure to tell the story, Reflect his image, show forth his glory. [Refrain] Topics: Light; Primary Languages: English Tune Title: [I'll be a sunbeam, so brightly gleaming]
