O there’s sunshine, blessed sunshine, When the peaceful happy moments roll: When Jesus shows His smiling face, There is sunshine in the soul.

There is music in my soul today, A carol to my King, And Jesus, listening, can hear The songs I cannot sing.

O there’s sunshine, blessed sunshine, When the peaceful happy moments roll: When Jesus shows His smiling face, There is sunshine in the soul.

Verse 3

There is springtime in my soul today, For when the Lord is near, The dove of peace sings in my heart, The flowers of grace appear.

O there’s sunshine, blessed sunshine, When the peaceful happy moments roll: When Jesus shows His smiling face, There is sunshine in the soul.

Verse 4

There is gladness in my soul today, And hope and praise and love For blessings which He gives me now, For joys "laid up" above.

O there’s sunshine, blessed sunshine, When the peaceful happy moments roll: When Jesus shows His smiling face, There is sunshine in the soul.
