Composer:Chas. H. Gabriel

114. I Love to Scatter Sunshine

1 I love to share a sorrow,
I love to dry a tear,
I love to aid the weary,
And give the sad heart cheer,
I love to scatter sunshine,
As on my way I go;
For this is work for Jesus,
And O, I love Him so.

Refrain:
I love to scatter sunshine,
As on my way I go,
For this is work for Jesus,
And O, I love Him so,
I love to scatter sunshine,
As on my way I go,
For this is work for Jesus,
And O, I love Him so.

2 I love to lift the fallen,
And comfort those distressed,
I love to cheer and gladden,
The lonely and oppressed,
I love to brighten pathways
And share another’s woe;
For this is work for Jesus,
And O, I love Him so. [Refrain]

3 I love to bear His banner
Amid the worldly throng;
I love to spread His gospel,
By story and by song,
I love to plead with sinners,
Until to Him they go;
For this is work for Jesus,
And O, I love Him so. [Refrain]
