1 Give the world your sunshine
Sing along the way,
Helping souls to bear the
Burdens of the day;
Comforting the sad ones
Every time you may,
Give it in the Master’s name.

Refrain:
Give your sunshine as you go along,
Smile for others, sing a happy song;
Till you join the fair celestial throng,
Give it in the Master’s name.

2 Give the light to others,
Who are deep in need;
Magnify the Savior
Both in word and deed;
Over dreary valleys
Heaven’s message speed,
Give it in the Master’s name. [Refrain]

3 Give the world your sunshine
And increase in love
For the great Redeemer,
Heaven’s holy Dove;
Then the shining life-crown
Shall be yours above,
Give it in the Master’s name. [Refrain]
