Representative Text

1 In the sunshine of his love, O how precious 'tis to be!
Standing where each blessed sunbeam sheds its glory over me.
It gives me perfect peace, and my heart is all aglow
While I praise the gracious Giver for the light he doth bestow.

Chorus:
In the sunshine of his love, blessed sunshine of his love,
I am walking, daily walking, in the sunshine of his love.

2 In the sunshine of his love, what a privilege to know
While I keep where it is shining, from his care I cannot go!
Tho' temptation may assail, and danger hover near,
In the sunshine of his presence I shall know no doubt or fear. [Chorus]

3 In the sunshine of his love, may I ever here abide;
With such radiance all around me nothing evil can betide.
All along my pilgrim way in its fullness may it shine,
Its heavenly light revealing all his purposes divine. [Chorus]
