Give the world your sunÂshine
Sing along the way,
Helping souls to bear the
Burdens of the day;
Comforting the sad ones
Every time you may,
Give it in the MasÂter’s name.
Refrain
Give your sunÂshine as you go along,
Smile for others, sing a hapÂpy song;
Till you join the fair ceÂlesÂtiÂal throng,
Give it in the MasÂter’s name.
Give the light to othÂers,
Who are deep in need;
Magnify the SavÂior
Both in word and deed;
Over dreaÂry valÂleys
Heaven’s mesÂsage speed,
Give it in the MasÂter’s name.
Refrain
Give the world your sunÂshine
And inÂcrease in love
For the great ReÂdeemÂer,
Heaven’s hoÂly Dove;
Then the shinÂing life-crown
Shall be yours abÂove,
Give it in the MasÂter’s name.
Refrain
