Author: Rev. Johnson Oatman, Jr. Hymnal: Light in the Valley #44 (1898) First Line: This is my mission, wherever I go Refrain First Line: Spreading the light of the Gospel of God Lyrics: 1 This is my mission, wherever I go,
Spreading the hea'venly sunshine;
Over life's pathway of sorrow and woe,
Spreading the sunshine of love.
Chorus:
Spreading the light of the Gospel of God,
Spreading the heavenly sunshine;
Over some one who in sorrow may plod,
Spreading the heavenly sunshine.
2 Jesus hath sent me to glean by the way,
Spreading the heavenly sunshine;
So I am working by night and day,
Spreading the sunshine of love. [Chorus]
3 Hearts bend to Jesus as flow'rs to the sun,
Spreading the heavenly sunshine;
While many souls for the Master are won,
Spreading the sunshine of love. [Chorus]
4 Burdens are lightened as I move along,
Spreading the heavenly sunshine;
Sadness is banished by music and song,
Spreading the sunshine of love. [Chorus]
5 Then let me work till life's labors shall close,
Spreading the heavenly sunshine;
Then let me sink in death's quiet repose,
Spreading the sunshine of love. [Chorus] Topics: Devotional; Revival; Work Languages: English Tune Title: [This is my mission, wherever I go]
