Songs of Grace and Glory ‎#106

106. Try to Scatter Sunshine

1 Would you help some brother o’er life’s weary road?
Help some weary pilgrim bear his heavy load?
Be a cheerful Christian and with courage strong,
Try to scatter sunshine as you pass along.

Refrain:
Scatter pleasant sunshine all along life’s way,
Scatter golden sunshine every hour and day;
Scatter heav’nly sunshine with a word or song,
Try to scatter sunshine as you pass along.

2 Hearts today are weary with the load they bear;
Every life has burdens you may help to share;
Would you help some brother battle ‘gainst the wrong?
Try to scatter sunshine as you pass along. [Refrain]

3 To that one in sorrow say that God is love;
To that one in darkness point the way above;
Tell that poor weak brother Christ can make him strong,
Try to scatter sunshine as you pass along. [Refrain]

4 Scatter rays of sunshine, time is moving on;
Would you be remembered after you are gone?
Then while on your journey sing your brightest song,
Try to scatter sunshine as you pass along. [Refrain]
