The Excelsior Hymnal ‎#259

259. On a Rainy Day

1 Who will try to be a sunbeam,
While the sky is gray?
Who will try to make things happy,
On a rainy Day?

Refrain:
I will try, I will try,
While the clouds are in the sky,
I will try to be a sunbeam
On a rainy day.

2 Who will try to be a blessing
Like the sunbeams gay?
Who’ll be patient, bright and cheery,
On a rainy Day? [Refrain]

3 Who will listen to the lesson,
Ev’ry word obey?
Who’ll be quiet, sweet and sunny,
On a rainy Day? [Refrain]
