Send out the sun­light, the sun­light of cheer
Shine on earth’s sad­ness till it dis­ap­pear—
Souls are in wait­ing this mes­sage to hear,
Send out the sun­light of love.

Refrain

Send out the sun­light of love,
Send out the sun­light of love,
Send out the sun­light,
Send out the sun­light,
Send out the sun­light of love.

Send out the sun­light in let­ter and word;
Speak it and think it till hearts are all stirred—
Hearts that are hun­gry for pray­ers still un­heard,
Send out the sun­light of love.

Refrain

Send out the sun­light each hour and each day,
Crown all the years with its lu­mi­nous ray,
Nourish the seeds that are sown on the way,
Send out the sun­light of love.

Refrain

Send out the sun­light that speaks in a smile,
Often it short­ens the long, wea­ry mile,
Often the bur­den seems light for a while,
Send out the sun­light of love.

Refrain

Send out the sun­light, as free as the air!
Blessings will fol­low with none to com­pare.
Blessings of peace, that will rise from des­pair!
Send out the sun­light of love.

Refrain

Send out the sun­light, you have it in you!
Clouds may ob­scure it just now from your view;
Pray for its pre­sence! Your pray­er will come true,
Send out the sun­light of love!
