Author: J. W. VanDeVenter Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #166 (1904) Hymnal Title: The Voice of Praise First Line: I wandered in the shades of night Refrain First Line: Sunlight, sunlight in my soul today Lyrics: 1 I wandered in the shades of night,
Till Jesus came to me,
And with the sunlight of his love
Bade all my darkness flee.
Chorus:
Sunlight, sunlight in my soul today,
Sunlight, sunlight all along the way;
Since the Saviour found me, took away my sin,
I have had the sunlight of his love within.
2 Tho' clouds may gather in the sky,
And billows round me roll,
However dark the world may be,
I've sunlight in my soul. [Chorus]
3 While walking in the Light of God,
I sweet communion find;
I press with holy vigor on
And leave the world behind. [Chorus]
4 I cross the wide extended fields,
I journey o'er the plains,
And in the sunlight of his love
I reap the golden grain. [Chorus]
5 Soon I shall see him as he is,
The Light that came to me;
Behold the brightness of his face,
Throughout eternity. [Chorus] Tune Title: [I wandered in the shades of night]
