Representative Text

1 Carry the sunshine wherever you go,
Into the byways dreary;
Banish the shadows of sorrow and woe,
Scatter the sunbeams cheery.

Refrain:
Carry the sunshine, the heavenly sunshine,
Brighten the pathways of sorrow and woe;
Jesus is flooding your heart with the sunlight,
Share it with others as you go.

2 Carry the sunshine wherever you go,
Corners where gloom is hiding;
Jesus is ready His light to bestow,
Into the brightness guiding. [Refrain]

3 Carry the sunshine wherever you go,
Into the homes of sadness;
Many are longing its comfort to know,
Hoping for light and gladness. [Refrain]

4 Carry the sunshine wherever you go,
Many in grief are pining;
Over their pathway a radiance throw,
Light form the Savior shining. [Refrain]
