13032. Keep On The Sunny Side

1 There’s a light above,
There are smiles of love,
When in Jesus we abide;
There are golden rays
Cheering rugged ways;
Let us keep on the sunny side.

Refrain:
Walking along in the sunshine fair,
Helping a neighbor to travel there;
When our souls are bright
With salvation’s light,
We will keep on the sunny side.

2 Tho’ the raindrops fall
In the hearts of all,
In our Father we confide;
There are heav’nly gleams,
And sweet promise beams,
When we keep on the sunny side. [Refrain]

3 Let us trust the Lord,
Trust His gracious word,
That no good will be denied;
With a faith in Him
That no shadows dim,
Let us keep on the sunny side. [Refrain]
