Sunbeams

Verse 1

Speak kindly to the erring one you meet upon the way; The burdened heart is yearning for a word that you may say. With anxious heart and smiling face tell of a Savior’s love; And point the way that leads to everlasting life above.

Chorus

Sunbeams, sunbeams, scatter them day by day; Sunbeams, sunbeams, scatter them all the way, Sunbeams, sunbeams, scatter them while you may, Where’er you be, on land or sea, Scatter them all the way.

Verse 2

Speak gently to the wand’ring one! O do not scold or frown; Remember that his brow may some day wear a starry crown. Be patient; soft in pathos speak; in earnest try to win; A precious jewel, priceless gem, tho’ stained with guilt and sin.

Verse 3

Speak sweetly to the fallen one, in accents soft and low; Tell of the patient Savior and His love, where’re you go, Remember that when thou thyself wert deep in sin and night; A tender word, a winning smile, brought comfort, joy and light.
