I would be a lit­tle sun­beam,
Shining bright­ly all the day,
With its light and joy and glad­ness,
Driving all the clouds away.

Refrain

Shining, shin­ing,
Shining ev­er bright and fair;
Shining, shin­ing,
Shedding sun­light ev­ery­where;
Shining ev­ery day for Je­sus,
Like a sun­beam pure and fair;
Driving out the gloom and sad­ness,
Shedding sun­light ev­ery­where.

I would be a lit­tle sun­beam,
And with hap­py smile or song,
Cheer the hearts of those around me—
Make them cheer­ful, brave and strong.

Refrain

I would be a lit­tle sun­beam,
Help me, Je­sus, so to shine;
May the light of Thy dear Spir­it
Fill this lit­tle heart of mine.

Refrain
