We are happy sunbeams,
Shining day by day,
Making others happy as we go our way,
Brightening gloomy places,
Spreading mirth and cheer,
Always glowing brightly for our Savior dear.
Refrain
We are happy sunbeams,
Shining day by day,
Making others happy all along the way.
We are happy sunbeams,
Shining in the gloom,
Love’s true light reflecting as we journey home;
Much of care and sadness
Daily we remove
With our looks of kindness and our smiles of love.
Refrain
We are little sunbeams,
With bright gleam and glow,
We are helping others everywhere we go;
Thus to our Redeemer
We will prove our love,
Till He bids us join Him in His home above.
Refrain
