44. Spreading the Heavenly Sunshine

1 This is my mission, wherever I go,
Spreading the hea'venly sunshine;
Over life's pathway of sorrow and woe,
Spreading the sunshine of love.

Chorus:
Spreading the light of the Gospel of God,
Spreading the heavenly sunshine;
Over some one who in sorrow may plod,
Spreading the heavenly sunshine.

2 Jesus hath sent me to glean by the way,
Spreading the heavenly sunshine;
So I am working by night and day,
Spreading the sunshine of love. [Chorus]

3 Hearts bend to Jesus as flow'rs to the sun,
Spreading the heavenly sunshine;
While many souls for the Master are won,
Spreading the sunshine of love. [Chorus]

4 Burdens are lightened as I move along,
Spreading the heavenly sunshine;
Sadness is banished by music and song,
Spreading the sunshine of love. [Chorus]

5 Then let me work till life's labors shall close,
Spreading the heavenly sunshine;
Then let me sink in death's quiet repose,
Spreading the sunshine of love. [Chorus]
