A word spoken in due season, how good is it!
Proverbs 15:23
Words: Eliza E. Hewitt, in The Young People’s Hymnal (Nashville, Tennessee: Publishing House, Methodist Episcopal Church, South, 1890).
Music: William J. Kirkpatrick (🔊 pdf nwc).
Just a little sunshine everywhere we go,
Over darkened pathways, rays of blessing throw;
Golden rays of gladness from a loving heart
Help the world to brighten; let us do our part.
Refrain
Sunshine, sunshine, just a little sunshine,
Bearing heav’nly gladness through this world below;
Sunshine, sunshine, just a little sunshine,
Telling love’s sweet story, everywhere we go.
Like the blessèd Master, in this life are we
Sent to comfort others, publish liberty;
Willing hands outreaching, strengthening the weak,
In the name of Jesus, consolation speak.
Refrain
Just a little sunshine makes the roses grow;
In the barren places, flowers begin to show;
Lift the clouds of sorrow, cheer the hour of gloom,
Fruits of grace will ripen for immortal bloom.
Refrain
