Lyrics

We’re scat­ter­ing sun­shine, wher­ev­er we go,
’Tis Je­sus who gives us the sun­shine, we know;
He bids us while tra­vel­ing this dark world be­low;
Scatter the sun­shine of love.

Refrain

Scattering sun­shine sent from above,
Scattering sun­shine, sun­shine of Love;
We’re scat­ter­ing sun­shine, wher­ev­er we go,
Scattering sun­shine of love.

We’re scat­ter­ing smiles all along on our way,
To light­en some bur­den, we scat­ter each ray,
To bright­en some lives that are cheer­less to­day,
Scatter the sun­shine of love.

Refrain

We’re scat­ter­ing kind words of cheer as we go,
To com­fort the wea­ry, who jour­ney be­low;
And Je­sus has pro­mised to help us, we know,
Scatter the sun­shine of love.
