Hymn
Sunshine in the Soul
There's sunshine in my soul today,
More glorious and bright
Than glows in any earthly sky,
For Jesus is my light.
O there's sunshine, blessed sunshine,
When the peaceful, happy moments roll;
When Jesus shows His smiling face,
There is sunshine in my soul.
There's music in my soul today,
A carol to the King,
And Jesus, listening, can hear
The songs I cannot sing.
There's springtime in my soul today,
For, when my Lord is near,
The dove of peace sings in my heart,
The flow'rs of grace appear.
There's gladness in my soul today,
And hope, and praise, and love,
For blessings which He gives me now,
For joys "laid up" above.
