Only a Beam of Sunshine

Author: Fanny J. Crosby Appears in 27 hymnals Refrain First Line: Only a word for Jesus Lyrics: 1 Only a beam of sunshine, But oh, it was warm and bright; The heart of a weary trav'ler Was cheered by its welcome sight. Only a beam of sunshine That fell from the arch above, And tenderly, softly whispered A message of peace and love. Chorus: Only a word for Jesus, Only a whispered prayer Over some grief-worn spirit May rest like a sunbeam fair. 2 Only a beam of sunshine, That into a dwelling crept, Where, over a fading rosebud, A mother her vigil kept. Only a beam of sunshine That smiled through her falling tears, And showed her the bow of promise, Forgotten perhaps for years. [Chorus] 3 Only a word for Jesus! Oh, speak it in his dear name; To perishing souls around you The message of love proclaim. Go, like the faithful sunbeam, Your mission of joy fulfill; Remember the Saviour’s promise, That he will be with you still. [Chorus] Used With Tune: [Only a beam of sunshine]
