1. If we scatter sunbeams
All the sunny day,
It will cheer some trav'ler
On his weary way;
Brighten life's sad pathway
For the weary one,
Cheer him with the sunbeams,
'Till the day is done.
Chorus:
Oh, the blessed sunbeams,
Shining all the day;
Guide the weary wand'rer,
To the heavenly way.
2. Let us not be weary,
Singing all the day,
Shedding blessed sunbeams
All along our way.
Make earth's sorrow brighter
By our happy song,
Bear our trials lightly,
It will not be long. [Chorus]
3. When we reach the portals
And the Saviour's near,
We shall reap the sunbeams
We have scattered here.
We'll go on rejoicing,
Happy all the day,
For the blessed sunshine
Scatters gloom away. [Chorus]
