Jesus Is My Sunlight

G. E. Wright (1920) • English

Primary Scripture: John 8:12

Verse 1

My path is bright, my burden light, Since Jesus came to stay; I have no fear while He’s so near To guide me in the way; He is my light by day and night, Along life’s rugged road, And of His love I’m singing all the day.

Chorus

Sunlight, sunlight on my path doth shine, Bringing gladness to this heart of mine; Sunlight, sunlight shining every day, Jesus is my sunlight all the way.

Verse 2

This light divine doth brightly shine, Dispelling all the night; ’Twill guide the feet along the way, Into the paths of right; ’Twill comfort give to all who live Within its rays so bright, Until they reach those mansions in the sky.

Chorus

Sunlight, sunlight on my path doth shine, Bringing gladness to this heart of mine; Sunlight, sunlight shining every day, Jesus is my sunlight all the way.

Verse 3

Come out from sin, let’s walk within This glorious light divine, And journey to that home above, Where joy will be sublime; So glad and free we all shall be Within His courts to shine, Among the saints and angels over there.

Chorus

Sunlight, sunlight on my path doth shine, Bringing gladness to this heart of mine; Sunlight, sunlight shining every day, Jesus is my sunlight all the way.
