Sunshine On the Hill

Fanny J. Crosby • English

Primary Scripture: Song of Solomon 2:17

Verse 1

There are shadows in the valley, Where our tired feet must go; But we hear the peaceful waters, As they murmur soft and low;-- And our Shepherd whispers gently, As He leads us onward still: "There are shadows in the valley, But 'tis sunshine on the hill."

Chorus

Sunshine on the hill, There is sunshine on the hill; "There are shadows in the valley, But 'tis sunshine on the hill."

Verse 2

There are shadows in the valley, But we breathe the sweet perfume Of the roses on the mountain, In their lovely, vernal bloom; And again our Shepherd whispers, As He leads us onward still; "There are shadows in the valley, But 'tis sunshine on the hill."

Chorus

Sunshine on the hill, There is sunshine on the hill; "There are shadows in the valley, But 'tis sunshine on the hill."

Verse 3

Oh, the shadows of the valley, Like a dream will pass away; They will vanish at the dawning Of the bright and glorious day; Even now there comes an echo, And we feel its magic thrill: "There are shadows in the valley, But 'tis sunshine on the hill."

Chorus

Sunshine on the hill, There is sunshine on the hill; "There are shadows in the valley, But 'tis sunshine on the hill."
