Author: Frances Jane (Fanny) Crosby Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5240 Refrain First Line: Only a word for Jesus Lyrics: 1. Only a beam of sunshine,
But oh, it was warm and bright;
The heart of a weary traveler
Was cheered by its welcome sight.
Only a beam of sunshine;
That fell from the arch above:
And tenderly, softly whispered
A message of peace and love.
Refrain
Only a word for Jesus,
Only a whispered prayer,
Over some grief worn spirit
May rest like a sunbeam fair!
2. Only a beam of sunshine
That into a dwelling crept;
Where, over a fading rosebud,
A mother her vigil kept.
Only a beam of sunshine
That smiled through her falling tears,
And showed her the bow of promise,
Forgotten perhaps for years. [Refrain]
3. Only a word for Jesus,
Oh, speak it in His dear name,
To perishing souls around you
The message of love proclaim.
Go, like the faithful sunbeam,
Your mission of joy fulfill;
Remember the Savior’s promise,
That He will be with you still. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Only a beam of sunshine]
