Representative Text

1 Come into the sunshine, why linger in shade?
Come into love's freedom, O be not afraid!
Come, take of God's bounties, for all things are yours;
Faith's claim will be honored, the promise assures.

Chorus:
Come into the sunshine,
Beautiful beautiful sunshine;
Come into the sunshine,
The beautiful light of God.

2 Come into the sunshine, O walk in the light!
Heirs of this salvation are not of the night:
Tho' trials o'ertake you, yet be of good cheer!
The dawn of redemption from suff'ring is near. [Chorus]

3 Come into the sunshine, faith's portion so blest;
Doubts chill and distress you, come into this rest!
Cast now your soul's anchor in this haven fair,
For peace as a river flows, blissfully there. [Chorus]
