Lyrics

Let the gold­en sun­light
In your heart if sad;
It will bring a bless­ing,
And will make you glad;
Jesus, bless­èd Sav­ior,
Helps us con­quer sin;
Let the gold­en sun­light
Of His love shine in.

Refrain

Let the gold­en sun­light in,
Let the gold­en sun­light in;
Sing the joy­ful cho­rus,
Jesus saves from sin;
Let the gold­en sun­light
Of His love shine in.

Let the gold­en sun­shine
Spread its ray of light
On your path, if gloomy,
Sunshine makes it bright;
Trusting in God’s pro­mise,
You a crown shall win;
Let the gold­en sun­light
Of His love shine in.

Refrain

As you jour­ney on­ward,
Do some kind­ly deed;
God will guide and keep you,
Sowing pre­cious seed;
In the gold­en har­vest,
There are souls to win,
Let the gold­en sun­light
Of His love shine in.
