1. In this world of sadness
There are hearts to win,
Where no ray of gladness
Ever enters in.
Homes are cold and dreary
Needing sunshine bright;
Darkened lives are weary,
Waiting for the light.

Chorus:
Be a little sunbeam, shining ev'ry day;
Scatter Heaven's sunshine all along the way,
Glow in ev'ry corner, drive the gloom away;
Be a little sunbeam shining ev'ry day.

2. Would you help to lighten
Burdened hearts today?
Would you seek to brighten
Paths along the way?
Scatter deeds of kindness
Be a sunbeam bright;
Lift the pall of blindness
With a heavenly light. [Chorus]

3. Tell the gospel story
Everywhere you go;
Flash the Saviour's glory
In this world of woe.
When the toil and sorrow
Of the night is o'er,
You may on the morrow
Shine for evermore. [Chorus]
