Author: S. E. Hendrick Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: When my life with sin was filled Refrain First Line: O the sunshine, blessed sunshine Lyrics: 1 When my life with sin was filled,
In my wicked heart I willed
That I’d serve with all my power the prince of sin;
But a voice did me implore,
There is someone at the door;
Will you let the blessèd sunshine in?
Refrain:
O the sunshine, blessèd sunshine,
How it fills with joy this happy heart of mine;
For I’ve cleared the darkened windows,
I have opened wide the door,
And I’ve let the blessèd sunshine in.
2 Yielding not my stubborn will,
Tho’ the call came louder still,
Till I saw myself an outcast, vile within;
Then I could hold out no more,
So I opened wide the door,
And I let the blessèd sunshine in. [Refrain]
3 Now my faith has stronger grown,
I approach the heav’nly throne,
And I have the Spirit witnessing within;
And the clear and perfect light
Makes my pathway ever bright,
For I’ve let the blessèd sunshine in. [Refrain]
4 In this bright and shining way,
I’m rejoicing every day,
For I have no fears, but all is joy within;
And the Savior is my light,
Guiding all my steps aright,
Since I’ve let the blessèd sunshine in. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [When my life with sin was filled] Text Sources: Make His Praise Glorious by Edwin O. Excell (Chicago: E. O. Excell, 1900)
