Chorus: More of thy sunshine in my heart, Life has its shadows, grief its smart; Sun of my soul, with rays benign, Enter this darkened heart of mine. 2 More of thy sunshine in my heart, Then I may smile tho' joys depart; Hope will abide within my breast, Teaching the lesson, "God knows best!" [Chorus] 3 More of thy sunshine in my heart, Life may be sweet, tho' friends must part; Teach me to look to thee for aid, Be thou my strength when sore dismayed.
