Lyrics

Give the world your sun­shine
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 Mas­ter’s name.

Refrain

Give your sun­shine as you go along,
Smile for others, sing a hap­py song;
Till you join the fair ce­les­ti­al throng,
Give it in the Mas­ter’s name.

Give the light to oth­ers,
Who are deep in need;
Magnify the Sav­ior
Both in word and deed;
Over drea­ry val­leys
Heaven’s mes­sage speed,
Give it in the Mas­ter’s name.

Refrain

Give the world your sun­shine
And in­crease in love
For the great Re­deem­er,
Heaven’s ho­ly Dove;
Then the shin­ing life-crown
Shall be yours ab­ove,
Give it in the Mas­ter’s name.
