159. Beautiful Sunlight of Heaven

1 Beautiful sunlight of heaven,
Beautiful home above;
O, how my earth-wearied spirit
Longs for thy light of love.

Refrain:
Beautiful sunlight of heaven,
Home of the spirit free,
When amidst strife and temptation,
Ever I turn to thee.

2 Beautiful sunlight of heaven,
Ever a flood of song
Fills all thy courts with sweet music,
Sung by the ransomed throng. [Refrain]

3 Beautiful sunlight of heaven,
He who was crucified,
Beckons me over the river,
Over the rushing tide. [Refrain]
