Representative Text

1 See the merry, merry sunshine,
As it comes, the shadows flee,
All the earth puts on new beauty,
All the birds grow wild with glee.
Storm and darkness flee before it,
All the clouds are edged with gold;
In its happy shining presence
Beauties ever new unfold.

Chorus:
Merry, merry sunshine,
Ever free and fair.
Ever blithsome,
Ever free from care.

2 Children, you can always carry
Sunshine with you on your way,
You can lighten up the darkness,
You can turn the night to day.
You can dry the tears of sorrow,
You can happiness impart,
For the brightest, sweetest sunshine,
Is the sunshine of the heart. [Chorus]

3 Then go on your way rejoicing,
Never let the sunlight fail,
'Till you reach the hills of Zion,
'Till you pass within the vail.
For the best and safest passport
To that City ever bright,
Are the hearts that you have gladdened,
Are the burdens you've made light. [Chorus]
