Be a ray of sun­shine ev­ery­where you go,
Shining for the Sav­ior with a stea­dy glow;
Bringing smiles to sad ones, wip­ing tears away,
Make yourself a bless­ing ev­ery pass­ing day.

Refrain

Be a ray of sun­shine ev­ery­where you go,
Shining for the Sav­ior with a stea­dy glow;
Be a ray of sun­shine filled with Hea­ven’s light,
Sending forth a mes­sage beau­ti­ful and bright.

Be a ray of sun­shine ev­ery­where you go;
Comfort bring to oth­ers, stoop to raise the low;
Kind words cost but lit­tle, smiles bring plea­sures, too;
They may lift a bur­den; let them not be few.

Refrain

Be a ray of sun­shine ev­ery­where you go;
Cheerfulness is need­ed, this you can be­stow;
Help to chase the sha­dows from this world away,
Bringing joy and glad­ness like a shin­ing ray.

Refrain

Be a ray of sun­shine ev­ery­where you go;
Stars will shine the bright­er in your crown, I know;
Sunshine brought to oth­ers will re­flect on you,
Heav’n will be the sweet­er—keep the end in view.

Refrain
