Hymn
Heavenly Sunlight
Walking in sunlight, all of my journey;
Over the mountains, thro' the deep vale;
Jesus has said I'll never forsake thee,
Promise divine that never can fail.
Heavenly sunlight, heavenly sunlight;
Flooding my soul with glory divine:
Hallelujah, I am rejoicing,
Singing His praises, Jesus is mine.
Shadows around me, shadows above me,
Never conceal my Savior and Guide;
He is the light, in Him is no darkness,
Ever I'm walking close to His side.
In the bright sunlight ever rejoicing,
Pressing my way to mansions above;
Singing His praises, gladly I'm walking,
Walking in sunlight, sunlight of love.
