1 Let us car­ry sun­shine
Everywhere we go;
It will strength­en oth­ers,
Jesus’ love to know;
If our hearts grow wea­ry,
Let us sing and pray,
Help some wan­der­ing soul
To find the liv­ing way.

Refrain:
Let us car­ry sun­shine
Everywhere we go;
It will strength­en oth­ers,
Jesus’ love to know;
Let us car­ry sun­shine,
Everywhere we go.

2 Let us be a su­nbeam,
Shining for the Lord;
Walking in His foot­steps,
Trusting in His word;
If temp­ta­tions lead us
From the paths of right,
Let us look to Je­sus,
For in Him is light. [Refrain]

3 If your life’s a sun­beam,
All is peace with­in;
Let it shine for Je­sus,
Other souls to win;
Toiling in His vine­yard,
Ever faith­ful be;
Brighter beams in glo­ry
Wait to shine for thee. [Refrain]
