I'll Be a Sunbeam

Verse 1

If I were a sunbeam, This is what I'd do, I'd find the dark places, Searching the forest through; I would kiss the pale flowers, Bending low at my feet, Till each lonely blossom Open'd fair and sweet.

Chorus

Beautiful sunbeam! God sent you here; I'll be a sunbeam, Lonely hearts to cheer.

Verse 2

So many dark places In this world of sin, Why not be a sunbeam, Letting the love light in, God's beautiful love light, Smiles and words of cheer; Kindness is the sunshine We should scatter here.

Verse 3

If we are like Jesus Sun of Righteousness Who left the bright mansions, Lonely lives to bless, 'Twill be sweetest pleasure Of his love to tell, Shining out his gladness Where the sad ones dwell.
