Sunbeams

Representative Text

1 We are little sunbeams,
Shining day by day,
Shining for the Savior,
At our work and play;
Shining for the Savior

2 Like the Star of Bethlehem,
Shining thro' the night,
We would guide earth's pilgrims

4 Clouds may sometimes gather,
But will flee away

If we keep on shining
Brighter ev'ry day.

5 Loving, helpful sunbeams
We will ever be,
shining, always shining,
Dearest Lord, for Thee;
Shining, always shining,
Dearest Lord, for Thee.
