How my heart with joy is thrill­ing
Since I found the liv­ing way,
And am trust­ing in my Sav­ior all the while!
He has par­doned my trans­gres­sions,
Turning dark­ness into day,
And I’m liv­ing in the sun­shine of His smile.

Refrain

In the sun­shine of His smile,
There is joy and com­fort for each wea­ry mile;
And when earth­ly life is over,
I shall with the ran­somed throng
Dwell for­ev­er in the sun­shine of His smile.

I have sweet com­munion with Him
As His will He helps me do,
Striving lost ones un­to Him to re­con­cile;
By the grace and strength He gives me,
I can ev­er­more be true,
Gladly keep­ing in the sun­shine of His smile.

Refrain

He is shar­ing all my bur­dens,
Giving glad­ness, peace and rest;
O how sweet to be no long­er an ex­ile!
Knowing Je­sus loves and keeps me,
I am now su­preme­ly blest,
For there’s Hea­ven in the sun­shine of His smile.

Refrain
