1 Oh, let the love of God above
Into your spirit come;
His love so free, so shall you be
The sunshine of your home.

Refrain:
The sunshine of your home,
Sweet sunshine of your home!
His love so free in you shall be
The sunshine of your home!

2 Speak words of cheer to friends most dear,
The friends that love you best;
Make always bright with happy light,
The place of sweetest rest. [Refrain]

3 Then day by day, still humbly pray
For peace and love divine,
And by his grace, in every place,
In Christ’s own likeness shine. [Refrain]
