Hymnal: The Service of Praise #118 (1900) First Line: Life is full of sunshine, when the sun is hid Refrain First Line: Then children sing Lyrics: 1 Life is full of sunshine, when the sun is hid, When its beams no longer round the flowers play, Sorrows will not linger, grief will not remain, Where life is full of sunshine ev’ry day. Refrain: Then children sing, Let the chorus ring, For life is full of sunshine tho’ the clouds appear, Then children sing, Let the chorus ring, While Jesus waits our song to hear. 2 Set the echoes ringing in a glad refrain, Tho’ the clouds may gather dark’ning all the way, Children of the Saviour ever joyful be, For life is full of sunshine ev’ry day.

C. Austin Miles

1868 - 1946 Author of "Life is Full of Sunshine" Charles Austin Miles USA 1868-1946. Born at Lakehurst, NJ, he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and the University of PA. He became a pharmacist. He married Bertha H Haagen, and they had two sons: Charles and Russell. In 1892 he abandoned his pharmacy career and began writing gospel songs. At first he furnished compositions to the Hall-Mack Publishing Company, but soon became editor and manager, where he worked for 37 years. He felt he was serving God better in the gospel song writing business, than as a pharmacist. He published the following song books: “New songs of the gospel” (1900), “The service of praise” (1900), “The voice of praise” (1904), “The tribute of song” (1904), “New songs of the gospel #2” (1905), “Songs of service” (1910), “Ideal Sunday school hymns” (1912). He wrote and/or composed 400+ hymns. He died in Philadelphia, PA. John Perry
