You have known the Mas­ter, bless­èd Mas­ter,
You have known His mer­cy and His love;
You have caught the sun­beams, cheer­ing sun­beams,
Gently fall­ing from the skies above.

Refrain

Scatter the sun­beams, cheer­ing bright sun­beams;
Darkened hearts for sun­light cry;
Bear the news of mer­cy, tell the news of Je­sus,
Let the cheer­ing sun­beams fly.

You have seen the sun­beams, cheer­ing sun­beams,
Chasing sha­dows from the cloud­ed sky;
You have seen the dawn­ing, won­drous dawn­ing,
Coming, glo­ri­ous, when the sun­beams fly.

Refrain

You have seen the sun­beams, cheer­ing sun­beams,
Following show­ers on the fields new sown;
You have seen the har­vest, gold­en har­vest,
Safely gar­nered, with the ear full grown.

Refrain
