I Will Sing My Cheerful song

Author: Julia H. Johnston Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8083 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D First Line: In the happy sunshine bright Lyrics: 1 In the happy sunshine bright, I will sing my cheerful song; When the sun is hid from sight, I will sing my cheerful song. Every day along the way, Whether lights or shadows play, To the Savior I belong, I will sing my cheerful song. 2 When the way is clear before, I will sing my cheerful song; When I see but one step more, I will sing my cheerful song. Watching still to do His will, Trusting Him to keep from ill; I am safe, for Christ is strong, I will sing my cheerful song. 3 Jesus knows the way I take, I will sing my cheerful song; Jesus never will forsake, I will sing my cheerful song. Always near, His voice I hear, Perfect love shall cast out fear; Looking upward all day long, I will sing my cheerful song. Languages: English Tune Title: VANUATU
