Refrain: Christ is the sunny side; Christ is the sunny side, Safely he hideth me, Gently he guideth me, Christ is the sunny side of life. 2 No matter what my grief or strife, No matter what the storms of life, His tender care is ne’er denied, In Christ the sunny side. [Refrain] 3 The healing water cheers my way, The living manna greets my day; My ev’ry need in him supplied, In Christ the sunny side. [Refrain] 4 Would you from sin and darkness flee? Would you from pain and death be free; Then in his shelt’ring love abide, In Christ the sunny side. [Refrain] Tune Title: [My soul secure, no fear I know]
